MaidSafe Dev Update :safe: 27th April 2015

Thanks @nicklambert, I’ve added the diagram and link to your blog.

I’m still trying to understand what is meant by the API.

So far I understand that it includes:

  • the RESTful API (POST/PUT/GET/DELETE key-value store), though I am not sure how this might provide more extensive NoSQL features (such as in the Redis API, which handles collections etc.)
  • the NFS API (retrieve a list of file descriptors via the Launcher, then manipulate files using the standard file system library)
  • access to a virtual drive (provided by Drive)

I’ve summarised this in the FAQ mentioned, but I’m wondering if there is more to the API than this, for beta, launch, or planned later (see my questions here). Any corrections or additional info you can provide would be helpful, though not urgent :slight_smile:
