+ GF web services API examples</h1>
+
+GF can be used interactively from the GF Shell. Some of the functionality
+availiable in the GF shell is also available via the GF web services API.
+
+<p>
+The
+<a href="http://code.google.com/p/grammatical-framework/wiki/GFWebServiceAPI">GF
+Web Service API page</a> describes the calls supported by the GF web service
+API. Below, we illustrate these calls by examples, and also show
+how to make these calls from JavaScript using the API defined in
+<a href="js/pgf_online.js"><code>pgf_online.js</code></a>.
+
+<p>
+<strong>Note</strong> that <code>pgf_online.js</code> was initially developed
+with one particular web application in mind (the minibar), so the server API was
+incomplete. It was simplified and generalized in August 2011 to support the
+full API.
+
+<dl>
+ <dt class=js>These boxes show what the calls look like in the JavaScript
+ API defined in <code>pgf_online.js</code>.
+ <dt>These boxes show the corresponding URLs sent to the PGF server.
+ <dd>These boxes show the JSON (JavaScript data structures) returned by the PGF
+ server. This will be passed to the callback function supplied in the
+ call.
+</dl>
+
