The PAD File format was defined by the Association of Software Professionals. Only that format has many limitations making it pretty much unusable with software that has a very broad or non Microsoft Windows oriented type of software. For that reason, we also include our own Snap format called SNSD (Snap Software Description). Both formats make use of XML, only the SNSD format includes a REST API allowing applications to easily navigate a large number of software offering without having to search an entire website to find a few SNSD Files.
At this time we have all the necessary code to generate the XML files. However, we are still missing the User Interface to enter the necessary data.
