its the other way around - the cli/shell commands are using the engine
python-sdk, which uses the engine REST API.
if your solution is html/javascript based, i think using ovirt.js (which
wraps calling to the engine rest api 'nicely', vs. you doing it yourself
from your code) is the way to go.
Exactly, the main use case for oVirtJS is to allow working with Engine
from within a JavaScript environment. HTML/JS web application is the
primary use case, we also plan to support "server-side JS code running
on Node.js" as another use case, so that people can potentially write
custom server-side JS to work with Engine.
