The nature of the game in making modules for Drupal is using the tools Drupal provides you. API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a fancy way of saying that code has clearly defined ways of talking to other code. This chapter is devoted to introducing APIs, the hooks and functions Drupal provides to you, in the context of building the X-ray module introduced in Chapter 18. As each feature of the module requires using another tool from the extensive selection in Drupal’s API toolbox, I will introduce it and use it.
