API documentation

The general purpose of the XML language is to let Java-based applications communicate with, for example, MailCamp, which is programmed in PHP. An application programming interface (API) is a collection of definitions that allows a computer program or script to communicate with another program or script. An API defines access to the functionality behind it. The outside world does not know the details of the functionality or implementation, but thanks to the API it does know how to call it. One advantage is that an API can give access to several implementations, as long as they conform to the API. This document is a guide to implementing the API integration. The MailCamp XML API makes it possible to link contact data from your own database with the mailing lists in MailCamp. You can add and remove data without logging in to MailCamp. Example: subscribers to your newsletter arrive in your own database, and you send this data to MailCamp whenever you choose. That way your own database remains the leading source.
