The JUNOScript application programming interface (API) is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) application that Juniper Networks routers use to exchange information with client applications. XML is a metalanguage for defining how to mark the organizational structures and individual items in a data set or document with tags that describe the function of the structures and items. The JUNOScript API defines tags for describing router components and configuration.
Client applications can configure or request information from a router by encoding the request with JUNOScript tags and sending it to the JUNOScript server on the router. (The JUNOScript server is a component of the management daemon [mgd process] running on the router and does not appear as a separate entry in process listings.) The JUNOScript server directs the request to the appropriate software modules within the router, encodes the response in JUNOScript tags or formatted ASCII as requested by the client application, and returns the result to the client application. For example, to request information about the status of a router’s interfaces, a client application can send the JUNOScript <get-interface-information> tag element. The JUNOScript server gathers the information and returns it in the <interface-information> tag element. For more information about the JUNOScript server, see the JUNOScript API Guide.
