MonetDB comes with a complete set of programming libraries. Their basis is the MonetDB application programming interface (Mapi), which describes the protocol understood by the server.
The programming interface is based on a client-server architecture, where the client program connects to a server using a TCP/IP connection to exchange commands and receives answers. The underlying protocol uses plain UTF-8 data for ease of use and debugging. This leads to publicly visible information exchange over a network, which may be undesirable. Therefore, a private and secure channel can be set up with the Secure Socket Layer functionality.
