Design and use interfaces

 

Design and use interfaces

Interfaces

Interfaces are the means of exchanging data between components.  An interface provides the input and output of a component.

The inputs and outputs of each component, specified by the interface, determine which data can be passed from one component to another. An interface is created independent of the implementation of the component. An interface may also be created for a component that has no implementation; that is, the implementation will be done later.

Creating interfaces

Interfaces are the means of exchanging data between components. In this section, you will learn about the relationship between interfaces and implementations, the parts of an interface, different ways of starting the interface editor and developing an interface, and see some tutorials and samples about interfaces.

Interface maps

Interface maps are created in the interface mapping editor to resolve and reconcile differences between the interfaces of interacting components.
