Chapter 15. Software Development Kit Overview

The software development kit provides programming language specific libraries for interacting with the REST API provided by Red Hat Gluster Storage Console. These libraries include classes to represent resources made available by the API and methods for interacting with those classes. This allows you to concentrate on writing code specific to what you are trying to achieve rather than hand crafting appropriately formatted HTTP requests and manually orchestrating their delivery.

The software development kit includes collections and methods mapping directly to all aspects of the REST API. As a result, this software development kit documentation focuses on providing examples written in the supported programming language. For a complete reference of all supported collections, resources, actions, and attributes, refer to the REST API material.
