Interop

The Interop API enables applications to:

• offer functionality to other applications by registering Interop methods;
• discover applications which offer methods;
• invoke methods on the user's desktop and across the network;
• stream and subscribe for real-time data using the streaming methods of the Interop API;

Applications which offer methods and streams are called Interop servers, and applications which consume them - Interop clients, and collectively - Interop instances.

Any running instance of an application is identified by its Interop instance, which is a set of known key/value pairs uniquely identifying an application.

The Interop API is accessible through the io.interop object.
