RE API use a form of the viewer?

Migrateduser

<p>If the RE API is used does that make the birt viewer redundant or does it create a viewer through the code instead? <br><br>

I am just curious as to if the viewer is even used if the RE API is used - instead of the standalone viewer with report etc </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
