## Introduction

SpaceVim provides many public APIs that you can use in your plugins.
The following example shows how to load and use an API.

```vim
" use SpaceVim#api#import() to load the API
let s:file = SpaceVim#api#import('file')
let s:system = SpaceVim#api#import('system')

" check the if current os is Windows.
if s:system.isWindows
    echom "OS is Windows"
endif
echom s:file.separator
echom s:file.pathSeparator
```

<!-- call SpaceVim#dev#api#update() -->
