Linkar Suite 2.3.8

Linkar FRAMEWORK is a set of open-source libraries that allows developers to create their own applications that connect to the linked Linkar Server to access the different MV Databases.

Linkar FRAMEWORK is available with different programming languages and environments:

•The .NET Framework libraries are for Windows x64 and x86 environments, and languages including C#, Visual Basic, and F#.

•The .NET Core libraries are for multi-platform development including Windows, Linux, and macOS with C#.

•Java is for all OS types.

•The C Library can be used with all languages and environments, including within PHP, Python, and Node.js.

•The Node.js, PHP and Python Framework libraries for easily building fast and scalable network applications.

The following languages and environments are available in the version of Linkar CLIENTS. They will soon be adapted to Linkar FRAMEWORK:

•The COM Library found in the .NET Framework package.

•The Mono Library

We advise you to use the Linkar Web Services. You can easily migrate your Linkar REST API configuration to Linkar Web Services using the sendcommand Group.  The only thing you have to do is to change the IP:Port of the call. Ask us if you have any questions.

Linkar REST API is used by applications to exchange data over HTTP(S) as JSON or XML objects.

All operations supported by SendCommand Templates are supported for use with the API SendCommand, including full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

The API Manager group of endpoints are used to perform Linkar Server monitoring and management operations. They allow to check the current status of the server as well as to stop or start EntryPoints among other things.

Linkar Web Services is a new "no develop" API REST. There is no need to create any service nor hosting in any web server. Doing BASIC routines to expose data is neither needed, unless you need to execute your own subroutines.

It can be configured to be executed with no security protocols, or with Oauth2.0, IdentityServer4 or ApiKey authentication protocols, and can be executed in any machine apart from Linkar Server (Dockers, AWS...).

In this link you can see the list of all the EndPoints that Linkar Web Services offers you.

The lksendcommand is a cross-platform console application, embedding Linkar CLIENT, to perform operations from the OS command-line and scripts. For example, you can write a .bat file or shell script that sends and retrieves data to/from the MV server for any purpose. From MVBASIC to connect with other different MVDBMS type.

We advise you to use the Linkar Framework for .NET, CORE, JAVA, C, Node.js, PHP and Python.

Linkar CLIENT libraries allow the communication of an application with the Linkar SERVER, and through the Server with the different databases.

Programmers request and receive data required by a client application through functions provided by the Linkar Clients.

Linkar exposes a consistent API for many languages to many MVDBMS platforms. Applications do not need different tooling, depending on the MV database, choice of programming language, OS of the client, or OS of the server. All Linkar Client connectors communicate with the Linkar SERVER, which is then responsible for access into all MV systems.

There are Linkar Clients compatible with different programming languages and environments:

•        The .NET Framework libraries are for Windows x64 and x86 environments, and languages including C#, Visual Basic, and F#.

•        The COM Library found in the .NET Framework package supports COM development, Microsoft Office VBA (including Excel, Outlook, and Word), and other languages over Windows including Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

•        The .NET Core libraries are for multi-platform development including Windows, Linux, and macOS with C#.

•        Mono libraries are also for multi-platform development including Windows, Linux, and macOS with C#.

•        Java is for all OS types.

•        The C Library can be used with all languages and environments, including within PHP, Python, and Node.js.

•        The PHP Extension is used over Linux.

•        There is a Python Extension.

•        There is also an extension specific to Node.js.
