YouOS exposes its functionality through open RESTful server APIs. youos���S�F��\��A�q�L���}�𮧪A�Ⱦ��Ŷǵu��C That means you can easily write applications which consumes them or builds upon them.�o�N��۱z�i�H���P�a�g�ӽСA��ӥL�̩ΫإߥL�̡C You can easily provide a customized version of YouOS for mobile for example or a desktop client which uses YouOS API's to provide services.�z�i�H���P�a���ѤF�w���youos���ʡA�Ҧp�A�ήୱ�Ȥ�ݨϥ�youos API�����ѪA�ȡC
