To interact with alfresco from java, what is the best way?

CMIS is an industry standard API&nbsp;allowing you to write connectors that are not as tightly bound to Alfresco as its custom APIs.&nbsp;The reality is that in various cases, CMIS will not be sufficient and you'll complement its use with the Public REST API to fill in gaps.</P><P>With the new v1 REST API though, you can also opt to go&nbsp;all-in with only using the REST API. The client SDK is just a library wrapping that API to help you get started - I personally have not used it yet and can't say anything regardings its quality or potentially opinionated&nbsp;implementation.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:50:40 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/starting-with-alfresco-and-interacting-from-my-java-application/m-p/54099#M20043 afaust 2018-01-25T17:50:40Z
