How to develop a custom API for AEM application

[Mayank_Arora]

Hello,

In our application, we ingest data from multiple sources and produce various custom RSS feeds to be consumed by in-house mobile apps. As an alternative approach and for "usefulness", we need to build an API which offers sufficient options that any of the feeds can be developed using it.

What is the best way of achieving this? Please suggest some steps and reference links? Will it involve building a wrapper around JCR API?

Regards,

Mayank

You can wrap the JCR API in an OSGi bundle and then call the operations exposed by the OSGi from JSPs located in your CQ site. We have many examples of how you would do this. See this article to get you started.
