There are several programming languages you can use to develop with Nx. This guide will give a general overview and recommendations based on your programming language preference.
C++
Native language for Nx Meta Platform provides most options to develop integrations. Also, it supports cross-platform development.
Useful Links
Node.js
A convenient platform to develop web services or integration middlewares—small services that connect two different systems using their APIs— which can be hosted on a different system from the server.
Useful Links
- Node.js Integration Framework
A framework we created to allow developers and integrators to easily create API integrations for Nx Server. - REST API
- Cloud Relay
For requesting information from the Cloud systems.
JavaScript/Typescript
Preferred for creating rich web applications that operate in the browser and don't require end-user installation.

- Video API
Instructions on embedding video from Nx Meta on web site - Cloud Relay
Instructions for making API requests to Cloud-connected systems - REST API
- API Limitations related to Cross-domain Requests
Please, note browser security limitations. To bypass this, we recommend using URL-based authentication.
.NET, C#
As a native Windows technology, it can be used to develop plugins for Nx Server, but it will require some connection between the C++ SDK and your .NET libraries. Also, it can use REST API like any other language.

Python
A good option to create cross-platform automation scripts or middlewares.
Useful Links
Other Languages
Any languages used can benefit from the REST API documentation and Cloud relay.

Hi Stefaan Joos,
As you can see in the article, Python was added to the supported programming languages.
