Getting started with the NICE DCV Extension SDK

The NICE DCV Extension SDK uses Protocol Buffers (protobuf), an open-source data format designed to serialize structured data in a compact, binary form. By using Protocol Buffers, NICE DCV components and extensions can communicate with one another in a way that is platform-independent and extensible, regardless of the selected programming language.

The definitions of the messages are contained in the file extensions.proto.

To get started with the NICE DCV Extension SDK

1. Get familiar with Protocol Buffers (protobuf)
