Can anyone offer any guidance on the pros and cons of using the the REST API over the Java API?&nbsp; Does the REST API simply wrap the Java API?Thanks in advance for Tue, 05 Apr 2016 13:32:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/rest-api-vs-java-api/m-p/240359#M193489 matthew1 2016-04-05T13:32:42Z Re: REST API vs Java API https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/rest-api-vs-java-api/m-p/240360#M193490 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Matthew,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would say that it really depends what you are trying to achieve.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The point of using Activiti REST API is making your BPM engine interoperable.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Since REST leverages the HTTP protocol and its methods and resources you can start processes in Activiti from any other applications.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>You can also build a mobile app or a custom UI interface and have your logic handled by Activiti.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I don't see any advantage of using the Java API unless you want to embed Activiti into a Java application.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>That's just a thought.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I hope I helped.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jorge</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Apr 2016 15:32:52 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/rest-api-vs-java-api/m-p/240360#M193490 jorge_serrao 2016-04-06T15:32:52Z
