PC World | at | by Mike
Microsoft Thursday unveiled a revamped Live Search API that developers can use to embed search on Web sites with more support for frequently used Web-development technologies and less restrictions on how third parties use the technology on their Web sites. Project Silkroad is an API for Live Search that supports a broad range of open Web protocols and technologies used to build Web sites, including RSS, JSON, REST and XML, said Angus Norton, a senior director of Live Search at Microsoft.
Microsoft also is releasing third parties from previous restrictions on how they use the API, he said.
