Welcome to the Signal K Specification Wiki

Signal K development can be broken down in to five different categories;

• Apps - mobile or web apps that "consume" Signal K data. In particular web apps can be published so that users can find and install them in the app store accessible in the server's admin user interface
• Server Plugins - extensions to the server that allow processing and converting Signal K data to and from other formats and integration with external services
• Sensors - sensors or transducers that connect to a Signal K server/gateway or ultimately produce native Signal K data
• Server - central application server that receives marine data from multiple sources, processes it and serves it up to consumers
• Cloud Services - Applications running on Cloud servers that receive Signal K data from multiple vessels, process, log, archive and present the data to web clients or consumers
