XBio:D Javascript Library Reference
Introduction
The XBio:D Javascript library offers the functionality to create rich, dynamic, and interactive features for use with the OJ_Break API. The OJ_Break API provides procedures to retrieve data within the xBio:D database, and the xBio:D JS library is how that data gets presented. Users planning on working with the xBio:D JS library should be familiar with Javascript programming and object-oriented programming.
API Access
All functionality in the xBio:D JS library depends on access of data from the OJ_Break API. See OJ_Break API Access for an overview of the API and how to obtain an API access key.
Examples
An easy way to become familiar with the xBio:D JS library is to see a simple example involving two web applications. The first is a Google Maps widget which takes data from the OJ_Break method getLocalities for a specified tnuid and displays the data onto an interactive map. Read more about the Google Maps Javascript API here. The second application used in the example is a listing of included taxa for a specified tnuid by using the OJ_Break method getIncludedTaxa.
