In the IoTivity there are several API sets as follows including currently being 
implemented.

There are several API sets as follow in IoTivity.



Standard IoTivity

-       csdk C API (Tested from IoTivity QA)

-       resource(base) C++ API (Tested from IoTivity QA) ? Dependency with csdk 
API

-       resource(base) Java API (Tested from IoTivity QA) ? Dependency with C++ 
API

-       Resource Encapsulation C++ API (Tested from IoTivity QA) ? Dependency 
with C++ API

-       Resource Encapsulation Java API (Tested from IoTivity QA) ? Dependency 
with C++ API

-       IPCA C API (being implemented) -  Dependency with C++ API

-       Smart Home API (being implemented) ? Dependency with csdk API

Constraint IoTivity

-       C API (not Tested from IoTivity QA yet)



We need to select which API set is officially guaranteed for user to use and 
what else is the optional set.

There is Discrepancy across different API set. Currently, Some APIs in the 
higher level are not implemented yet. For example, C API set has some 
functionalities but C++/Java does not have it, even if these are quite 
important features. They should be managed well from API review team.

One comment, dropping specific API set should consider dependency also.

The first of the two proposed functions is the API Review one. We need a person
or a team to be willing to look into any API we design that is meant to be
used by anyone except ourselves, and make sure that the API is consistent.
Soon, we'd also like to make sure that our API is backwards compatible, so
applications written with IoTivity version X will continue to compile and work
with IoTivity version Y, provided Y >= X.

This team will probably be tasked with reviewing the existing API as well,
proposing changes, and establishing guidelines on how to review. The latter
point will impact releasing: when is the API review supposed to happen,
relative to the feature freeze and the releases? When is the API frozen for a
given release? (note that Dino's release suggestion timetable had some
elements of this)

This is a technical function and the Function Lead is expected to be
knowledgeable of C and C++ API designs[*].

[*] the team may propose dropping the C++ API.
