Retrieves a Qlik Sense object from the Qlik Sense application

[adecora]

Hi, in order to embbed an object from the Qlik Sense application, what is the difference betweer using the app API https://qlik.dev/apis/javascript/capability/#definitions-qapp-entries-getobject:

app.getObject("LB01","uPyZavD");

Or use the visualization API https://qlik.dev/apis/javascript/capability/#definitions-qvisualization-entries-show

var app = qlik.openApp('c31e2aba-3b46-4b13-8b87-c5c2514dea1d');
app.visualization.get('xGhjKl').then(function(vis){
vis.show("QV01");
});

I think the difference is getObject is synchronous, including waiting for the object and showing it. 

visualization.get is asynchronous.

The recommended approach going forward is to use the qlik-embed library rather than the capability APIs.
