Features

JPAL is a wrapper for the PBwiki API in Javascript. That means that any API-enabled wiki can use its special functions directly from within the browser. Features include:

• Complete implementation of PBwiki API functions
• Ability to use functions both within a browser session (only logged-in users can use the API functions) or with the API key^*
• Everything programmed with AJAX techniques for maximum responsiveness.
• Custom functions like writeFile that make using the API much easier.
• Pre-written applications like Notebook, which lets you read and write text files in your wiki as if it was Windows Notepad.
• Internal error reporting (when something goes wrong in JPAL), as well as the API's own error reporting.

*There are security concerns using the API key with Javascript. See GettingStarted for details.
