    API is a concept. What API in particular?

    When you have an operating system (or other complicated apps), you don't know how every little thing works. So, there are routines that do things for you, without doing damage to the system. This is the API - application programming interface.

    And it's okay to write binary editors. PlanetSourceCode is full of them.

    Surely that's a good reason *not* to write one, and move to improving one that already exists?
