Product Description
Juniper Networks®Junos®Space SDK is the industry’s most complete developer toolkit
specifically designed for an easy creation of network-aware applications. Space SDK enables
developers to fully leverage network intelligence and services from the Junos Space network
application platform to develop dierentiated applications. Building sophisticated workflow
engines, core business logic, streamlined interfaces for operational tools or a new fully
integrated Junos Space application is all possible with the Junos Space SDK.
Space SDK enables developers to leverage the Junos Space network application platform
to abstract the capability and connections to your Juniper Networks routers, switches,
and firewalls. It encomposes a rich set of tools including RESTful APIs, the Eclipse
Integrated developer environment, device simulators, reference applications, support tools
and documentation.
Architecture and Key Components
Junos Space SDK leverages well-known technologies and constructs to create an
extremely flexible software development environment.
Applications— Language independent web services
are used to create or enhance applications with
insight from Junos Space.
Web Services APIs—This abstraction layer presents
harmonized access to the underlying capabilities of
Junos Space through HTTP interfaces.
Info Service—A dedicated service for use in
discovering available APIs provided by the platform
and hosted applications.
Infrastructure Services—Access the platform’s
fundamental capabilities for use in creating
applications that leverage network services.
Network and Device Services—These services
provide a model for interacting with devices
that abstracts away the specifics of the device
connection and communication protocols.
Product Overview
Application development has generally
meant long, expensive development
cycles, limited cross-application
development leverage, and a network
engineering-centric approach. This has
forced developers to focus on costs,
cycle times, and foundational code
rather than innovative applications.
Juniper Networks Junos Space SDK is
an open, network-centric application
development toolkit explicitly
designed to enable developers to
use the information embedded in the
network to create unique, dierentiated
applications quickly, easily, and
economically, providing endless
possibilities for network intelligence,

Database Access—Applications have abstracted access to the
underlying Junos Space database.
Building an Application
The Junos Space SDK offers developers flexible options for
creating applications. These include:
Data Applications – Build applications that use and combine
data, insight or functionality from the Space platform, its Apps or
external sources to create new services. It’s a fast and easy way to
integrate open APIs and data sources to produce enriched results
that were not necessarily the original reason for producing the raw
source data.

Space, while at the same time expressing through APIs for use in
other Space-hosted or external applications. It’s a great way to
collect insight, process and make available to others.
Rich Applications – Design and implement fully native Space
applications, that add capabilities to the platform, create new
APIs for use by others and can integrate open APIs and data
sources to further enrich their capabilities and experience. It’s a
robust way to own the experience, gather insight and take action.
Integration – Access insight and take actions from external
applications and services, Space web services allow you to access
the capabilities of the platform through HTTP to further enrich
the capabilities and experience of your stand-alone or externally
hosted applications. It’s a language independent method to access
Space and to make your applications and services network aware.
