How do you use Joomla’s API for custom development?

Answer: Joomla’s API isn’t a single, REST-like API you directly call. Instead, you leverage it through:

PHP Programming within Joomla’s Framework: You write PHP code within your Joomla extensions (components, modules, plugins) to interact with Joomla’s core classes and methods.
Accessing Core Functionality: The API lets you manage users, articles, categories, menus, and more programmatically.
Database Interaction: The Joomla Platform provides the `JDatabase` class to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the database safely.
Event Handling: Joomla’s event system lets you trigger custom actions based on core events (e.g., saving an article).

In essence, you “use” the Joomla API by coding within its framework, not by making external API calls.
