====== Introduction to the SDK ======

The ''Orbit 3D Mapping Viewer SDK'' is designed to integrate the Orbit 3D Mapping HTML5 Viewer into  
third-party applications. 

==== About SDK Implementations ====

We first designed a Generic API that we then implemented for multiple programming platforms.  \\ 
Each implementation forms its own SDK but still corresponds to the Generic API.

Each SDK may deviate in small ways from the Generic API definition :
  * The API package name may be different
  * The API ''Viewer3DM'' component may be named differently

==== Viewer component ====

The core component of this SDK is the ''Viewer3DM'' component interface described in the Reference API.

Every SDK provides an implementation of this interface for a different programming platform. Implementations of this viewer interface are named differently to avoid a name collision between interface and implementation.
  * Javascript SDK Viewer Class : ''orbitgt.mapping3d.sdk.viewer.SDKViewer''
  * .NET Viewer Class : ''OrbitGT.Mapping3D.SDK.SDKViewer3DM''
