An
API is a set of software libraries that can be included in a program to
provide new capabilities that are not part of the core language.
MOBY
API methods allow the program to include MOBY capabilities in any
program. MOBY takes care of all of the details of accessing services
across the network, so that the programmer doesn't have to know how to
do that.
MOBY API is available for Perl and Java
