I'm working with extjs and Java EE and I have an extjs html xtype and I want to integrate a French spell checker API.

But I haven't any idea about APIs and how to integrate them.

Can any one give me some information about some example of an API and how to use it?

Write one yourself. It shouldn't be too hard. You'd need too calculate the levenshtein distance for each word in the text for each word in a list of all french words. rosettacode.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance#Java - Lennart
languagetool.org is an open source based java spell checking solution that you might want to use. - Wolfgang Fahl

You can use hunspell from Java. You can take the dictionary from OpenOffice/LibreOffice, look for *.dic and *.aff files. As OpenOffice/LibreOffice has many users, chances are good that the dictionary is well-maintained.
