Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and libraries

• XenAPI (XAPI): http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_Developer_Guide
• Libxenlight (libxl): Xen 4.0 contains initial implemention of libxl, which is common lowlevel library to manage Xen hypervisor. It's written in C so that it can be shared by various higher level tools and libraries. Xen 4.1 (xen-unstable) continues to add more features to libxl and xl. See Xen Summit 2010 NA slides about libxl: http://www.slideshare.net/xen_com_mgr/xen-summit-amd2010v3
