Is there a way to communicate Alfresco Repository with an external app server?

Question

The idea of my project is to communicate Alfresco Share with my app server, but I found that Share only can communicate with Alfresco Repository, and to do the manipulation I said before I must develop all APIs that let the Share communicate with my app server. Since Share communicates only with Alfresco Repository, I'm searching a way to communicate my server app with this Repository, so my documents will be in Alfresco server and Share can then expose them. If I'm missing something to understand please correct me.

Can anyone please help me. Thanks in advance.

As Jeff Potts mentioned in his last book:

Alfresco provides four main ways to develop your own UI:

• Share customizations
• Angular applications using ADF Application Development Framework
• Any JavaScript framework (using the Alfresco JavaScript API)
• Any application capable of using the CMIS protocol
