Droplets Software Development Kit (SDK)
API Specification v 2.32

The Droplets Java API is a remote GUI toolkit for writing rich, powerful thin-client applications. Droplets present themselves as desktop applications but have zero application code residing on the desktop.

The Java API hides the complexities of network communication from the application developer. Writing a Droplet is like writing an application with any other GUI toolkit, even though the code is run on a remote machine. In addition, Droplets models its GUI layout and many other API concepts after Java AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) and Swing. Developers familiar with the object-oriented paradigm will find this API to be a logical, understandable, flexible class library to help them attain maximum productivity in a short period of time.

The Droplets Java Application Programming Interface (API) consists of the packages shown above. The main API package holds all components, layout and formatting classes, along with the application class (which represents the client session) and the window subclasses Frame and Dialog (which represent the GUI). The Event class separates out all client event-related classes and is used to inform the Droplets UI Server of any events on the client side. Utilities provides a number of handy utility classes, while calendar, plot, tree and table provide classes essential to the use of their respective components.

Licensing: The Droplets Software Development Kit (SDK) and Application Programming Interface (API) is available for a free trial deployment that supports three simultaneous users. Those that wish to deploy an application built using the Droplets API that supports more than three simultaneous users must first receive a license from Droplet Inc.
