Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. It specifies how software components should interact and enables communication between different software systems. The API acts as an interface between the application and the operating system, allowing the application to direct the performance of procedures by the computer's operating system. The other options, XPI (an extension of the Mozilla platform), application device interface (not a commonly used term), and CMOS (a type of computer memory) are not relevant to the question.
