| 12 | VirtualBox comes with comprehensive support for third-party
|
|---|
| 13 | developers. The so-called "Main API" of VirtualBox exposes the
|
|---|
| 14 | entire feature set of the virtualization engine. It is completely
|
|---|
| 15 | documented and available to anyone who wishes to control VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 16 | programmatically.

|

| 21 | hosts or XPCOM on other hosts. Bridges also exist for SOAP, Java and
|

| 26 | All programming information such as documentation, reference

|

| 33 | In particular, the SDK comes with a Programming Guide and Reference
|
|---|
| 34 | manual in PDF format. This manual contains, among other things, the
|

| 35 | information that was previously in this chapter of the User Manual.
