SHARING DOCUMENT LINKS FROM MULTIPLE DATA PROVIDERS

摘要

A document sharing system includes a plurality of different data provider implementations. The document sharing system exposes a common application programming interface to a plurality of different clients and receives data requests identifying a given data provider, from the clients. The document sharing system then uses the data provider implementation for the data provider identified in the request, in order to obtain the requested data, and place it in a common data structure that is returned to the client.
