Nearly everyone who uses EnergyPlus interacts with it through an API.
OpenStudio is the primary API for EnergyPlus. EnergyPlus and OpenStudio are maintained by NREL. jEPlus, eppy (python), and params are other APIs for EnergyPlus that other forum users have made work.
I strongly recommend using one of the above APIs instead of making your own. It's a lot of work to just maintain an API to stay up to date with recent versions of EnergyPlus, let alone build one.
