Introduction

APEX 4.0 comes with a set of application programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs help the APEX developer to programmatically change the settings you would normally do in the APEX builder. The APIs offer a lot of flexibility and speed in developing web applications. Especially when you have to do a lot of repeating actions in the APEX builder, the APIs can be very useful.

In this chapter, we will show you how to use some of the APIs. For more information, refer to the APEX API reference which is included in your APEX 4.0 download.
