Overview
RETS IQ RETS Library is a Java API that allows simple access to RETS servers. The API is designed to allow developers to connect to RETS servers and execute searches, photo downloads, metadata requests and updates without having to deal with the nuts and bolts of the RETS protocol.
The API has a simple interface that allows the developer to process search results while they are being streamed as well providing handlers to either collect all the results or write the results out in a delimited format.
