This Java API allows you to access DMC data directly from within your programs. It constructs web service calls based on criteria you define, and then accesses the services behind the scenes. Information is retrieved as java objects that are available for immediate manipulation, bypassing traditional “save to disk, reload into my program, and then parse the data format” steps. No knowledge of web services or internal DMC formats (SEED or XML) is needed to access data using the Library.</span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;
