33The Project:M36 client library is the preferred method for interacting with Project:M36 databases. It supports all features of the DBMS while other interfaces may not.

5+For common use cases, the `ProjectM36.Client.Simple` API can assist in transaction management. The API is designed to be less overwhelming than the full-featured `ProjectM36.Client` (see [documentation](projectm36_client_library.markdown)).
66
77As such, not all features are available through the simple API, but, because the simple API is a thin layer over the complete API, the user may dip into the complete API at any time.
