API Design

Initially, we'll re-implement the webOS APIs. We'll need some new APIs that are straightforward extensions of existing APIs (for example, Proposed Synergy for Tasks). Other new APIs could substantially alter the app environment and user experience (for example, Proposed Lune OS Intents). These must be carefully thought out, so they improve the environment for app developers and user.

When designing new APIs, favor URLs. For example, an attachment could be pulled from the net (http: or git: URL schemes) as easily as a file (file: URL scheme) or immediate data (data: URL scheme). A contact URL could be an email (mailto: URL scheme), IM address (im:, aim:, sms:, gg:, irc: URL schemes) telephone (tel:, skype: or rtsp: URL schemes) or a web page (http: URL scheme).
