The spectra-cluster API is a Java application programming interface that supports the rapid development of MS/MS clustering algorithms. It forms the basis of the spectra-cluster-hadoop implementation of the spectra-cluster algorithm used to create the PRIDE Cluster resource[1]. Additionally, it is used by the spectra-cluster-cli command-line tool and the spectra-cluster-gui GUI application to implement the spectra-cluster algorithm as stand-alone applications.
General concept
The spectra-cluster API represents each vital component of a MS/MS clustering algorithm as a Java interface. Thereby, if a developer is only interested in developing a new spectrum similarity metric, he or she only has to implement the respective interface and can immediately put his algorithm in production by adapting, for example, the spectra-cluster-cli.
