Google has recently added another feature "API" to its developing of stable of developer tools. Now the "Google docs' list data API" can be easily used to upload new docs and existing form your Google doc list. It is build on GData framework, and as well provide some more hooks into the Google Docs and Spreadsheets tools.
Google further proves some code samples for the new API in both Java and Python. The visible absence of PHP - maybe the most accepted web-programming language - looks to point out that Google thinks of this API as more of a desktop client means, though currently the API is too naive to build anything actually cool like a Microsoft Word or OpenOffice plug-in. |
