Basic Definitions [2 of 2]
The SEDRIS API is an encapsulation of functionality which provides applications the ability to produce and consume transmittals.
A set of ANSI C language function definitions.
Why an API (not just a format specification)?
- It provides functions to simplify the navigation of complex transmittals.
- It provides a consistent interface between a user’s software application and SEDRIS transmittals.
- It decouples the user’s application from the transmittal’s format, allowing the DRM, the transmittal format, and the user’s application to evolve relatively independently of each other.
