MySQL Connectors provide connectivity to the MySQL server for client programs and APIs provide low-level access to the MySQL protocol and resources. You can connect and execute MySQL statements from another language or environment, including ODBC, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, Java (JDBC), and native C and embedded MySQL instances through connectors and the APIs
What is a Driver?
A driver is a piece of software designed to communicate with a particular database server. The driver may also call a library, such as the 'MySQL Client Library' or the 'MySQL Native Driver'. These libraries implement the low-level protocol used to communicate with the database server.
What is a Connector?
A connector refers to a piece of software that allows your application to connect to the MySQL database server. MySQL provides connectors for a variety of languages, including Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, Java (JDBC), C etc.
What is an API?
API, an abbreviation of application program interface, is a set of programming instructions (through classes, methods, functions and variables) and standards for accessing a web-based software application or web tool.
APIs can be procedural or object-oriented. With a procedural API you call functions to carry out tasks, with the object-oriented API, you instantiate classes and then call methods on the resulting objects. Of the two the second one is usually the preferred interface, as it is more modern and leads to better-organized code.
