## Introduction

SpaceVim provides many public APIs, you can use these APIs in your plugins.
The following example shows how to load APIs, and how to use the public functions within the APIs.

```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
```
