Passing data to APIs
When customizing the user interface, you must verify that the correct input is passed to the APIs you use. The primary way to retrieve data or perform updates in the user interface is through APIs. Making sure the right input is passed to these APIs is an important task for user interface customizations.
The application provides various mechanisms for passing input to APIs through the user interface. Which mechanisms you should use, and in what combination, depends on the type of screen and type of API being called.
This section describes the features and advantages of the following
mechanisms for passing data to APIs:
- Input namespace
