Preparing to Run the Examples

Infrastructure Map Server includes a set of sample applications. Some of them correspond directly to chapters in this Developer’s Guide. These samples are designed to show one or two key concepts at a time.

Other sample applications are more full-featured. These are designed to show some of the capabilities of Infrastructure Map Server. They are not discussed in detail in this guide, but they do build upon the basic concepts.

Note: The Web API supports .NET, Java, and PHP. For simplicity, the examples in this guide use PHP. However, many of the sample applications are available in all development languages.

This guide includes many code snippets. In most cases, the snippets are incomplete, lacking initialization and error-checking. For more complete versions, refer to the sample applications.
