Integrate DWS Viewer API

DWS Viewer API integration consists of three separate “components” that interact with each other.

DWS Viewer API Architecture

  1. 1
    DWS Viewer API is provided as a fully managed service. You can use it without requiring any changes to your infrastructure. It’s responsible for document streaming, editing, and collaboration.
  2. 2
    An optional backend for your web app. This could be a regular server-side application or a serverless function. It interacts with DWS Viewer API via its API. Alternatively, you can interact with DWS Viewer API via dashboard UI and skip the backend requirement entirely.
  3. 3
    A frontend web app running in a browser on a user’s device. This uses Nutrient for Web for displaying documents managed by DWS Viewer API.
