Windows API

The Windows API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of functions and tools provided by the Windows operating system that developers use to create software. It acts like a bridge, allowing applications to communicate with the hardware and Windows system features such as files, graphics, input devices, and network connections. Essentially, it provides a standardized way for programs to perform common tasks without needing to know the detailed workings of the computer hardware or Windows itself. This helps developers build reliable, compatible software more efficiently.
