SQL Tools Service is a API that provides useful services to database developer
and management tools.
## The JSON-RPC API
The SQL Tools Service exposes its feature set as a JSON-RPC over stdio. See
the API details at [JSON-RPC Protocol](jsonrpc_protocol.md) and checkout some
usage examples at [Using the JSON-RPC API](using_the_jsonrpc_api.md).
## The .NET API
The .NET API provides the complete set of services which can be used in
code editors or any other type of application.
If you're a developer that would like to use SQL Tools Service in
a .NET application, checkout the [.Net API reference](../api/index.md).
