» How to use the server-side Javadoc
Once you have experimented with a basic Extension, as introduced in the quick start chapter, you can consult the server-side Javadoc to explore the features of the server API and get a reference for the available methods.
The starting point for accessing the server API is the SFSApi class, which is accessible from within the main Extension class and in any request/event handler via the getApi() method.
