1.1 API architecture
The API functions enable you to use HTTP or HTTPS to collect various types of information such as information about devices monitored by JP1/OA.
The API functions of JP1/OA conform to the REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture style.
Compliance with the REST architecture style has the following benefits:
Independent of platforms and languages
Compliant with the standard HTTP interface(GET/PUT/POST/DELETE methods available)
Security tools for HTTP
Returns standard HTTP status codes, making error processing easy.
Uses a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for each resource, making it easy to access resources. The relationships between resources are easy to understand.
