29 * This is the main API class, used for both external and internal processing.
30 * When executed, it will create the requested formatter object,
31 * instantiate and execute an object associated with the needed action,
32 * and use formatter to print results.
33 * In case of an exception, an error message will be printed using the same formatter.
35 * To use API from another application, run it using FauxRequest object, in which
36 * case any internal exceptions will not be handled but passed up to the caller.
37 * After successful execution, use getResult() for the resulting data.
