The JUNOScript API is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) application that client applications use to request and change configuration information on Juniper Networks J-series, M-series, MX-series, and T-series routing platforms. This API is customized for JUNOS software, and operations in the API are equivalent to JUNOS CLI configuration mode commands. The JUNOScript API includes a set of Perl modules that enable client applications to communicate with a JUNOScript server on the router. The Perl modules are used to develop custom applications for configuring and monitoring JUNOS software.
For a complete description of how to use JUNOS XML and JUNOScript API software, see the JUNOScript API Guide.
