MapFishAPI: what's that ?

There is tree ideas behind MapFishAPI:
- Offer the possibility to integrate MapFish applications inside other applications (for example, a CMS).
- Offer the possibility to create permalinks on the MapFish application level.
- Offer high level functions

You can see some demonstrations of these capabilities here:
- On the left, you have first accordion with a geonames search
- Then, you can see a permalink accordion
- And a third accordion containing a tool to generate the API code that can be integrated in other applications.
