Joomladay Netherlands 2025 presentations

06 October 2025

On Friday 3 and Saturday 4 October 2025, Peter Martin gave two technical presentations at the Joomladagen in Utrecht about two different ways to get data into or out of a Joomla website.

Joomla Web Services API

On the first day, Peter showed how to use Web Services APIs to exchange data between websites and applications:

  • how to import and display external data in Joomla
  • how to expose information in Joomla 5 via the Web Services API using external scripts
  • applications of the built-in API functionality in Joomla 5.

The Joomla Framework

On the second day, Peter showed that Joomla is more than just a CMS. Joomla uses the Joomla Framework, which consists of separate PHP packages. You can use those packages yourself to build custom applications that can run outside the Joomla CMS. 

Peter shows how, with Composer and Packagist, you can use Joomla Framework packages and easily develop small applications with them. In a demo, he pulled in a Joomla database package with Composer and created a standalone script that retrieved data from a Joomla website.
