28<h2>Java&#x2122; Smart Card I/O API</h2>
29
30This specification describes the Java Smart Card I/O API defined by
31<a href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=268">JSR 268</a>.
32
33It defines a Java API for communication with Smart Cards
34using ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDUs. It thereby allows Java applications to interact with
35applications running on the Smart Card, to store and retrieve data
36on the card, etc.
37
38<p>
39The API is defined by classes in the package
40<code>javax.smartcardio</code>. They can be classified as follows:
41
42<dl>
43<dt>Classes describing the corresponding Smart Card structures
44<dd>
45<a href="ATR.html">ATR</a>,
46<a href="CommandAPDU.html">CommandAPDU</a>,
47<a href="ResponseAPDU.html">ResponseAPDU</a>
48
49<p>
50<dt>Factory to obtain implementations
51<dd>
52<a href="TerminalFactory.html">TerminalFactory</a>

77<h3>API Example</h3>
78
79A simple example of using the API is:
80<pre>
81 // show the list of available terminals
82 TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
83 List&lt;CardTerminal&gt; terminals = factory.terminals().list();
84 System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals);
85 // get the first terminal
86 CardTerminal terminal = terminals.get(0);
87 // establish a connection with the card
88 Card card = terminal.connect("T=0");
89 System.out.println("card: " + card);
90 CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
91 ResponseAPDU r = channel.transmit(new CommandAPDU(c1));
92 System.out.println("response: " + toString(r.getBytes()));
93 // disconnect
94 card.disconnect(false);
95</pre>
