PayPal .NET SDK - paypal

does anyone know the state of the Paypal .NET SDK? I just wonder, according to https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-NET-SDK/releases, the latest version is a V2.0 Release Candidate, but it is already 2 years old, and it seems like there was never an actual V2.0 release. Has this project died? Should I rather use the Paypal REST API directly?

Don't use any version of the v1 PayPal-NET-SDK (neither 1.x nor 2.0 rc2)
Use the new v2 Checkout-NET-SDK
If it does not (yet) support the API you want to integrate (e.g. the new Subscriptions API would be one example), then use direct HTTPS calls for that REST API

Paypal API - REST API or SDK (Java)

We are re-developing our eCommerce application and goingto use PayPal as our main gateway.
I am trying to figure out whether to use REST API or SDK.
Is SDK easier to use than REST API?
Which is better to use?
A good way to look at this is that the PayPal SDKs are built on top of the APIs (the root endpoints) in order to abstract out a lot of the complexities and keep integrations as up-to-date as possible.
If you are leveraging off of the API with your own code (and no SDK), you'll have to build out pieces for the auth (OAuth 2), in order to capture your access token, then build out calls for each endpoint that you wish to build against. Most of the time you'll see integrations like this if people want to highly customize their build against the API, or want to build in a language / integration not available in the SDKs.
The SDK will abstract out those complexities for you, so it'll definitely be the easier integration. In addition, the SDKs will be continually updated as the APIs change, so you won't have to update the code yourself to maintain that, just fetch the newest SDK version and test the integration.
If you're looking for the easiest integration, use the SDK. For Java, that's at https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Java-SDK. There's also a number of quickstart samples at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/quickstart/ using the SDKs.

What is HL7 V3 and how it can be implemented?

I am developing a ionic app and have to use HL7 v3.
I tried searching for it, but couldn't found anything much on the technical side. so, my question is:
What is Hl7 V3?
How it can be implemented?
Are there any library for creating and parsing HL7 V3 messages available?
Cheers!
V3 is most likely referring to HL7 Version 3. Version 2.5.1 is currently the most widely implemented version, but more and more systems and organizations are upgrading to V3. Implementing is the same process. You can find various HL7 version documentation here: http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_section.cfm?section=1&ref=nav

Which Paypal API Version should I use. (Classic vs. REST)

I have a site which tracks time spent working on projects for clients. It was created in classic Asp. I want to bill the time to the clients using the PayPal API. I am having a hard time determining which version I should use. I have read much of documentation and I am not sure which API to use (Classic vs REST).
I still prefer the Classic API. The REST API is still new to PayPal and is well behind the Classic API in terms of overall features.

Play Framework 2.3 OAUTH 2 Java Provider

I know that it might be an old question, But I didn't find a solution for it. I need an Oauth2 Provider (not client) to secure my APIs that works on play framework java (not scala). I think this is important, any one reached for a solution for that.
The master branch of securesocial have support for play 2.3. Here is the project website: http://securesocial.ws/ . There isn't a stable version right now.

Is it ok to simply change the PayPal Express API version number?

I'm dealing with a shopping cart system that doesn't really stay updated with the changes to PayPal's API. I have the source code and am confident enough to add/change parameters for calls (e.g. for expresscheckout) -- but some of the things I want to do are only available in newer versions of the API.
The cart PayPal PHP code sets the PayPal API version to '76' right now.
Can I safely just change it to '112' - or do I have to carefully audit and test all the existing code? In other words, is it safe to assume that PayPal's newer API versions are backward compatible with older code?
Yes, you can upgrade the API version to 113 and yes it is backward compatible and supports all existing parameters.
Note : Check this link to see the deprecated parameters that should be avoided.
