Developing applications to access simple data grids

You can use two different options to create maps, read, write, and update simple data grids. You can write a Java client application that uses the ObjectMap API. You can also use the REST gateway to develop a non-Java application to access the simple data grid.

Before you begin

You must have an existing simple data grid. For more information about creating a simple data grid, see Creating simple data grids.

If you are using a dynamic cache or session data grid, you can use your existing applications without modification.
