# Sponge (v7 and v8)

PermissionsEx integrates directly with the Sponge permissions API. This API was designed together with PEX v2, so they have fairly equivalent functionality. PEX itself exposes a few more features than Sponge does, so it may be necessary for developers to integrate directly with the PEX API.

If another permissions plugin is installed, PEX will fail to enable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://permissionsex.stellardrift.ca/platforms/sponge.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
