W3C has launched the Interactive APIs Community Group<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The goal of the Interactive API Community Group is to develop an HTML annotation approach – similar in spirit and style to micro-formats – to equip a piece of UI (e.g., parts of a web page, such as a table or a sub-area) with a programmable interface (API). That is, the goal is to equip pieces of UI with dynamic and programmable behavior, so as to foster reuse on the Web and enable a set of web-based integration scenarios that are currently more the result of hacking and less of principled software development: programmatically operating UIs, extracting data, extracting application logic, and cloning pieces of UIs. <\/p>\n

The intuition is to design a new type of interpreted API, the so-called interactive API (iAPI), that enables (i) programmatic access to UIs and (ii) interactive, live programming. The purpose of iAPIs is not merely to provide access to static content inside a web page, but rather to bridge between the Surface Web (the UIs) and the Deep Web (common web APIs and web services).<\/p>\n

The concrete results this Group aims to produce are therefore:<\/p>\n

–\tAn HTML annotation format for the specification of iAPIs;
\n–\tAn set of programming abstractions and code libraries for iAPI programming; and
\n–\tA set of supporting browser extensions for iAPI parsing and instantiation.<\/p>\n

The final vision is twofold: first, to found a programming paradigm based on the reuse of UIs, i.e., UI-oriented computing; second, to enable interactive, live reuse to non-programmers directly inside the web browser.<\/p>\n

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This group was originally proposed on 2013-02-18 by Florian Daniel. The following people supported its creation: Florian Daniel, Marcos Baez, Giovanni Toffetti, Jos\u00e9 Mat\u00edas Rivero, Maristella Matera.<\/p>\n

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org<\/a><\/p>\n
