Abstract
A network controller may receive a request from an application via an application programming interface (API), wherein the request comprises program codes written in a declarative programming language, and wherein the program codes describe at least some aspects of a virtual network (VN). The network controller may further parse the program codes into internal objects of the network controller, with the internal objects representing the aspects of the VN described by the program codes. The network controller may then manage the VN according to the internal objects translated from the program codes.
