# Using Live Datamart Clients

The TIBCO® Live Datamart product family includes both server and client components:

- The server component is the LiveView server, which you start in StreamBase Studio or on the command line with the epadmin command.

- You have several options for client programs, as described on this page.

## TIBCO LiveView Web

TIBCO LiveView™ Web is a browser-based application that allows you to create a rich display of cards that visualize data from queries and to create actions against a Live Datamart server. It displays data in a variety of real-time charting formats, and supports extensions such as custom visuals using JavaScript. Cards are created and laid out in pages, with each card presenting the results of a continuous query against the Live Datamart server in a variety of visualizations and data displays.

Your LiveView project in Studio must be configured to support LiveView Web as a client. See Configuring Live Datamart to Use LiveView Web for details.

Use a standard HTTP URL in your browser to view LiveView Web enabled pages. For example, use `http://localhost:10080/lvweb` or `https://localhosts:10443/lvweb` for security-enabled servers.

Starting with release 10.1.0, TIBCO Live Datamart includes a copy of TIBCO LiveView™ Web Standard Edition, with restricted licensing terms. Read about LiveView Web in the documentation for TIBCO LiveView™ Web Enterprise Edition on docs.tibco.com.

## LiveView Server REST API

LiveView server presents a built-in REST API interface that allows you to query the server with simple URLs in a browser. See LiveView Server REST API for instructions.

## TIBCO LiveView Desktop

TIBCO LiveView™ Desktop is a separately licensed client application based on Eclipse. LiveView Desktop is described on the following pages:

- See Connecting with LiveView Desktop to learn how to connect LiveView Desktop (if installed) to a running LiveView Server.

- See LiveView Desktop Guide to learn about using LiveView Desktop's features.

## lv-client

Live Datamart includes the lv-client command line tool that provides simple access to a running LiveView server. See the lv-client reference page for details.

## Custom-Written Clients

You can write your own custom clients using either the LiveView Java Client API or the LiveView JavaScript Client API as described in the LiveView Development Guide.

LiveView Desktop, lv-client, and custom clients all access a running LiveView server with a LiveView URI such as `lv://localhost:10080` or `lvs://localhost:10443` for security-enabled servers.
