Services: An API for remote applications

Services is a standardized API for Drupal that allows you to create "services", or a collection of methods, intended for consumption by remote applications. It works similar to the existing XMLRPC capabilities of Drupal, but provides additional functionality like:

• pluggable "server" modules allowing for other protocols (like SOAP, REST, AMF)
• pluggable "service" modules allowing developers to add additional remote services
• a service browser and method tester
• api key security
• remote session handling
• a number of included service modules which interact with existing Drupal modules like node, taxonomy, user, views, and system

Who might be interested in Services?

• Drupal developers wanting to add a Flash or Flex app to their site, and are looking for a way to get data from Drupal.
• Flash or Flex developers looking for the best backend CMS system.
• Anyone else looking to integrate external applications with Drupal.
