Problems solved by technology

However, this traditional structure is problematic because it makes searching for relevant data across applications difficult, if not impossible, and often results in having to enter similar information in multiple places (for example, contact information may have to be individually into email applications, messaging (messenger) applications, telephony applications, word processing, etc.)

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present disclosure focuses on a programming interface, such as an application programming interface (API), for a web platform on which developers can build web applications and services. More specifically, describes the .NET TM Framework (.NET TM An exemplary API of an operating system of a network platform such as the Framework). .NET TM A framework is a software platform for web services and web applications implemented in a distributed computing environment. It represents the next generation of Internet computing, using open communication standards to communicate between loosely coupled web services that cooperate to perform specific tasks.

[0019] In the described implementation, the web platform uses XML (Extensible Markup Language), an open standard for describing data. XML is governed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). XML is used to define data elements in web pages and business-to-business documents. XML uses a tag structure similar to HTML; ho...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to software and the development of software. More particularly, the present invention relates to programming interfaces that facilitate the use of software platforms by applications and computer hardware. Background technique [0002] Long ago, computer software was classified as either "operating system" software or "application" software. Broadly speaking, an application is software intended to perform a specific task for a computer user, such as solving mathematical equations or supporting word processing. An operating system is software that manages and controls computer hardware. The goal of an operating system is to make computer resources available to application programmers while hiding the complexity necessary to actually control the hardware. [0003] The operating system makes resources available through functions collectively referred to as application programming interfaces, or APIs. A single term API is a...
