# API The **BOII Development Server Core (BDSC)** exposes a clean, structured API designed to give you controlled access to essential systems - without enforcing how your server should work. It focuses on **player handling**, **server registry**, and **utility helpers**, giving you full control over your gameplay logic through modular extensions. *** ## What It Covers The API is split into three main areas: #### **1. Registry** Manage the core player lifecycle. * Create and register player objects * Retrieve players by source * Maintain the live player registry #### **2. Player API** Interact with a player object via its public-facing interface. * Add data or methods dynamically * Sync data to clients when needed * Trigger save/destroy lifecycle events #### **3. Utility Functions** Access core helpers for logging, and translations. *** ## Design Philosophy BDSC is built for developers who want flexibility without the baggage. * Clean, minimal API * Lifecycle and data sync built-in * Fully extensible from external resources * No forced framework rules * No prebuilt gameplay logic *** ## How to Use the API BDSC exposes its full API via a single namespace import. #### **Namespace Import** Use `exports.bdsc:import()` to get access to all available functions and objects: ```lua local bdsc = exports.bdsc:import() local player = bdsc.get_player(source) player:add_data("custom", { foo = "bar" }, true) ``` > All player objects support the full public API, including `add_data`, `run_method`, and `save`. ***
