App Development
Build a lightning application using Core Lightning APIs.
There are several ways to connect and interact with a Core Lightning node in order to build a lightning app or integrate lightning in your application.
- Using JSON-RPC commands if you're building an application in the same system as the CLN node.
- Using REST APIs if you're building an application in a remote client and want to connect to the CLN node over a secure network using REST interface.
- Using gRPC APIs if you're building an application in a remote client and want to connect to the CLN node over a secure network using gRPC interface.
- Using Commando to connect to a CLN node over the lightning network and issue commands.
- Using WSS Proxy to connect to a CLN node over web secure socket proxy.
- Third-party libraries that offer JSON over HTTPS or GraphQL (deprecated) frameworks to connect to a CLN node remotely.
