Core Protocol Specification
---------------------------

This chapter describes the APIs used in the GNU Taler project.  It includes
both APIs that are pre-existing as well as APIs specific to the project.

These *protocol specifications* define the interfaces between the core
components of GNU Taler.  Most of these interfaces use HTTP-based RESTful
protocols using JSON.
