What API is and Why to use API

What is API and why is it important to use.

API = Application Programming Interface

What is an API?

An API is a software-to-software interface, not a user interface. With APIs, applications talk to each other without any user knowledge or intervention. APIs allow a software application to communicate with a remote application over the Internet through a series of calls.

The API is, by definition, an interface, something that defines the way in which two entities communicate. The API itself is a chunk of software code written as a series of XML messages. Each XML message corresponds to a different function of the remote service.
