Ø GotAPI passes the end device(s) data to
Browser and Web-based Applications.
Ø Acts as a bridge between Web APPs
and Device APIs
Ø Provides access control to Device
APIs (Devices)
Ø GotAPI consolidates all common central
functions like security, authorization and
management policies for all plug-ins
Ø Device APIs expose data to web
applications based on policies
The Device APIs are the mediators between the
GotAPI and external devices
