Adding pages with custom PHP scripts

I’m trying to find out if there are standard MODx functions I can call from within my own snippets and plugins that will enable me to add resources to the resource tree. Instead of writing a custom function for this, I was hoping there are certain function I can call within my scripts. I prefer making use of the latter since it will ensure me all is done according to MODx "regulations".

There are for example these classes out there. Both have usefull functions for creating and editing resources with own snippets, plugins, modules:

Great, thanks for the response.

I already did find CakeMODx soon after I created this topic. The other API I was unfamiliar with. Checking both methods out now.
