Introduction
These developer pages document how to use Newbound's API to empower your applications with the Newbound protocol. All of our documentation is contained in Newbound's Documentation app (which is available via the MetaBot) and we would <3 corrections and improvements!
Programming Languages
Our software is written in Java, but that doesn't mean you have to have a Java project in order to use it! The MetaBot app allows you to write your code in Python or Java, and the HTTP API allows you to integrate with literally everything else. However, if you do integrate it into a Java project you will be pleased to know that there are no external third-party libraries to cause headaches for you!
Architecture
Our software is designed to be as flexible and minimally intrusive to your project as possible. It comes in the form of an "Executable Source Archive", which is just a fancy way of saying it comes with a script that compiles the code for your platform and then executes it. There's an awful lot crammed into that tiny little source archive, which is why we've made it Toaster Simple™ to use as little or as much of it as you like.

The software is written in Java and employs a "Compiling Classloader", which is just a fancy way of saying that if you drop ".java" files in the right places you can dynamically compile and execute them at runtime. The full functionality of the Newbound protocol is implemented in the form of four core Apps, which work in concert to provide a web server, an app container, a peer-to-peer communications layer, a NoSQL database, dynamic Java and Python code injection/invocation, robust thread-handling, comprehensive security settings and encryption.
Thank you!
We really appreciate you taking the time to look into the Newbound protocol and we hope you love it as much as we do. We're a small, but growing team here at Newbound, and we're committed to making your experience integrating the Newbound protocol as fun as possible. Any and all feedback is most certainly appreciated!
