- List-id: Discussion of API issues surrounding Xen <xen-api.lists.xensource.com>
Yes, you can ignore ocaml existence in first iteration (see below) and
use (for example) python with XenAPI.py interface. Main difference in
xapi and xend implementation of XenAPI is pool-related classed (xend
have no conception of pool).
About ocaml... In first XenAPI is language-neutral interface, but xapi
implementation is poor: they store some values in ocaml format (f.e.
last_boot_record for vm). But management part and main data are
available for use without ocaml concern.
Documentation published on xen.org site:
http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/ocamldoc/
Yes, this is only reference. No guideline or tutorial available.
