Zoho (http://zoho.com
) has been generating a good amount of attention for
its online office suite, which is the most comprehensive one available right now.[304]
There are currently APIs for Writer, Sheet, and Show:

Currently, the APIs do not talk deeply to pieces of documents. There are storage APIs
that let you upload and download documents. To access pieces, you have to use the
techniques shown in the rest of this chapter to parse and write documents (for instance:

?public/help/userView.AddWorkbook/noband
). I suspect that API calls to access
parts of documents will follow at some point in the future.
