Correct, there is both a Java and C++ API based on the OSInstance 
object. This object "duplicates" in-memory the OSiL XML data structure 
and this makes it very convenient for executing

get()
set()/add()
calculate()

methods against the OSInstance object. It is particularly nice for 
nonlinear optimization.
