摘要:Mashups are created by taking two
of more application programming
interfaces (or APIs) and combining
them to make one Web site that has
an entirely new purpose. Some companies
like PayPal will charge a vendor a
monthly fee to use their API; other organizations
consider their APIs to be open
source so that you may freely use their
API to create something new. In fact, legal
issues are still being debated (Gerber,
2006). We thought you might like to see
how a mashup can easily be created
with only a few lines of code. Make sure
you can use the information and then
proceed to write your own mashups.
