Microsoft has continued to make public its protocol documentation, posting on MSDN more than 14,000 pages of protocol specifications for Microsoft Office, Office SharePoint Server and Microsoft Exchange Server.
Developers will gain increased open access to how Microsoft products communicate with each other, and will be able to improve existing solutions as well as develop their own products to work with Microsoft’s.
Tom Robertson, Microsoft Interoperability and Standards general manager, said “We believe that providing open, consistent access to these protocols will further unleash the creativity of all developers to work on real-world interoperability solutions.”
The new pages bring the total amount of technical documentation released by Microsoft up to 44,000 pages.
Microsoft has asked the developer community for feedback. This is in order to improve the final documentation that will be released in June later this year, it said.
