This is a list of methods (and a variable) of the objects "node" and "c" passed to the scripts by Freemind which I used so far.

Would you rather like to have a 'wishlist', or to implement a 100% Freemind compatible API in one step? My feeling is that -- for you, and once you wrote proxy classes partially implementing the Freemind API -- it would be very easy to add one after the other, depending on user requests. I don't know which way you prefer. [[User:philshvarcz|philshvarcz]]

For the Scripting API see its Javadoc documentation.

The Scripting API is in some sense extended by Freeplane's utility classes and by the Libraries included in Freeplane.

Changes to the scripting API

The Scripting API will evolve over time but Freeplane's developers will do whatever possible to keep new API versions downward compatible. On the other hand there might be changes in parts of the Freeplane code that are not part of the official API but on which some scripts might depend nevertheless. This mostly applies to the utility classes.

Changes to the API are indicated per method by version numbers in the JavaDoc of the Proxy class.
