What is PAD?
PAD stands for Portable
Application Description. PAD is an XML-based open format to describe
downloadable applications. It is our preferred method for submitting our
software to download sites. If you maintain a software catalog, such as a
download site, and want to include our software, please use these PAD
files. To keep the contents on your site current, poll these files
regularly.
The PAD format is published
and supported by the
Association of
Shareware Professionals with the aim to make the lives of developers
and webmasters easier. It is available free of charge to everyone. By
using the PAD system, developers save time by having to create a
description of their software packages only once. This description can
then be uploaded quickly to all sites that support PAD. Webmasters can
process these PAD files and extract the data appropriate for their site.
They can keep the contents of their site current by polling PAD files on
the web sites of the authors of the software they list.
