Methods
As I mentioned earlier, the Google Wave Gadgets API provides various methods that can be used in tandem with the more general Google Gadgets API. In this section I provide a summary of some of the methods and classes frequently used in Google Wave gadgets. The complete API reference documentation is available at http://code.google.com/apis/wave/extensions/gadgets/reference.html.
Reference documentation for the methods and classes of the Google Wave Gadgets API can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference.

Keep in mind that some functionality may be available only in the

<Require feature="wave-preview"> in your gadget
instead of <Require feature="wave">.
