Essentials Economy/API
From Essentials
Essentials Economy is a full fledged economy system, comparable to iConomy.
The built in economy API will redirect to any other detected economy system including any register or vault plugin. This means you can use EssEco api as a economy api instead of vault/register if your plugin is dependent on Essentials.
API
All the following API calls are safe calls. If the account doesn't yet exist but is valid, it will be created.
The api code can be found in the github
package com.earth2me.essentials.api;
You may instead use the Register or Vault plugin to hook Essentials Eco, as Essentials is registered in both these methods.
