The Experience API (Tin Can API) is an [[open source]] API. It is a [[Representational state transfer]] web service that uses [[JavaScript Object Notation]] (JSON) for its data format. The web service allows software clients to read and write experiential data in the form of “statement” objects. In their simplest form, statements are in the form of “I did this”, or more generally “actor verb object”.<ref name="Saltbox Developers Discuss Tin Can" /> More complex statement forms can be used. There is also a built -in query API to help filter recorded statements, and a state API that allows for a sort of “scratch space” for consuming applications.
