Chapter 25. Software Development Kit Overview

25.1. Introduction to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Software Development Kit

The software development kit provides programming language specific libraries for interacting with the REST API provided by Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. These libraries include classes to represent resources made available by the API and methods for interacting with them. This allows you to concentrate on writing code specific to what you are trying to achieve rather than on handcrafting appropriately formatted HTTP requests and manually orchestrating their delivery.
The software development kit includes collections and methods mapping directly to all aspects of the REST API. As a result this software development kit documentation focuses on providing examples written in the supported programming language. For a complete reference of all collections, resources, actions, and attributes supported refer to the REST API material.
