The API roadmap

An AE first uses the initialization API to get a data connection. It then uses the API that corresponds to the connection type, either Function, Aggregate, or Shaper/Sizer. The AE uses the data type support API to process column and state values. Study the language examples to understand the basic structure of an AE. Further information about the functions, methods, and classes that are found in the examples can be found in the language-specific API references.
