Abstract
Allowing access to APIs based on application context. A method includes determining an application context for an application. A layer is determined for a base class library. Layers of the base class library are defined by one or more developer defined attributes associated with an API, where the API is included in the base class library. The base class library is divided into layers based on the developer defined attributes. The one or more attributes define which application contexts can access the API. If the layer matches the application context then access by the application to the API is allowed.
