Dictionaries are useful for passing information between multiple programs using Phidgets. #

A common example would be to have one program controlling your application that receives commands sent via a Phidget dictionary from a web interface, as outlined in many of our articles.

Keys can be thought of as being similar to variable names, with their values as their associated value. Phidget dictionaries contain groups of related key-value pairs, and are stored on a central Phigdet Network Server. Dictionaries, and the key-value pairs within may be accessed from programs that have access to the Phigdet Network Server.

The Dictionary API supports connecting to a dictionary on the server, managing key-value pairs, and monitoring changes made to the dictionary.

More information on Phidget Dictionaries can be found on the Phidget Dictionary support page.
