APIAPI refers to Application Programming Interface. It is the interface that gives program developers access to develop programs that work on a particular platform. Thus for Microsoft's Windows platform, the API is win32. To develop a program to run on the windows platform, you must write to the win32 API, thus the win32 API is the software developer's platform for windows. By encouraging other software programmers to develop to your platform, you are able to encourage lock-in as more people become dependent on the platform. A key stratgeic issue for a software company is whether to develop a developer's community, which builds software to its platform, or whether to keep the development internal to the organization.Similar MatchesCapital account surplusCapital account surplusCredits minus debits on capital account.
