**Dynamsoft Dynamic Web TWAIN** (DWT) is a software development kit (SDK) that enables users to scan documents from a **web environment** via APIs like TWAIN, WIA, ICA, SANE and eSCL. DWT handles the whole data flow, from image acquisition at the scanner, to displaying and editing scanned images in the browser, and finally uploading to the server.

Here we provide a series of usage guides, so that you can quickly start making use of both basic and advanced features of DWT with just a few lines of code - see our [general usage](/_articles/extended-usage/index.md) guides for more. You can also use our [Hello World](/_articles/hello-world/index.md) demo that demonstrates how to enable basic scanning, viewing, and uploading functionality in a web application.

Starting in DWT version 19, we drastically improved DWT platform support with the addition of a suite of RESTful APIs, which brings DWT's powerful scanning functionalities to not just web clients, but to native desktop/mobile applications and background services in any language. Click here for [sample implementations of the Dynamic Web TWAIN RESTful API](/_articles/extended-usage/restful-api.md) as well as the full [RESTful API reference](/_articles/info/api/restful.md).
