# Bridge

Open source library that simplifies the task of accessing the [PageSeeder service API](../../api/services.md) from [Java](java.md) or Kotlin applications. Bridge allows applications to support the following:

- **Create content **– by allowing applications to create comments, create and assign tasks and create, upload and edit documents. 
- **User management** – create accounts, authenticate users, use the PageSeeder permission model to only display relevant material, store and access user customizations and more.
- **Process content** – compare document versions, export to non-PageSeeder formats, create and send messages, resolve linked collections.

For non-Java developers, the service API is always accessible using HTTP and XML / JSON.
