CHAPTER 1
Using the Breeze XML APIs
The Macromedia Breeze XML application programming interface (API) model exposes interfaces
as a set of XML web services. These services let your external system (such as a portal application)
communicate with the Breeze server, using HTTP or HTTPS to call APIs on the server and to
receive results formatted as XML code. You can use the web services to add Breeze management
and reporting capabilities to your external system. To call the Breeze XML APIs, you can use any
language that can use XML over HTTP.
Note: Breeze doesn’t currently support Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
This chapter describes the flow of data between the Breeze server and web applications and how
you set parameters and security permissions.
