how to choose api for alfresco development?

[brucezhou]

hello expert! I want to develop some business application with alfresco,such as project document manage system,knowledge manage system. I would like to separate the deployment of alfresco repository and business applications.

There are  some APIs that can be used:

1, alfresco client sdk（https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-client-sdk） it looks under development.

2, Repository REST API,it seems hard to use.

3,java public api.The bussiness applications and alfresco repository must deployed together.

What should I do？

I would highly recommend you download the latest 5.2 release and take a look at the new V1 REST API (Alfresco 5.2 REST APIs ).

You can even "Try it out !" live, using: https://api-explorer.alfresco.com 

Alternatively, can use popular REST clients (such as Postman) or even just "curl" on the command-line.

For more details, including introductory video(s), blog post series and other presentations and links, please see: Alfresco 5.2 REST APIs
