− | Web app that presents the RESTful CardSync API endpoint over the [[I-Card Service]].

| |
− | === Version ===

− | === RESTful API ===
| |
− | * [[CardSync JAX-RS API]] - RESTful API
| |
− | * [[CardSync Authentication]] - RESTful API Authentication
| |
− | * [[CardSync Exceptions]] - coming soon
| |
− | * [[CardSync Data Transfer Objects]] - objects moving over the network

− | === Closed Issues ===
| |
− |
| |
− | ==== Should we use WebDAV? ====
| |
− | Reasons For:
| |
− | * reduces our development effort as this protocol is designed for resource synchronization. And that's what we're doing
| |
− | * mature, widely supported. Being used in new projects such as Mozilla Weave.
| |
− | Reasons Against:
| |
− | * Not RESTful. WebDAV extends the HTTP verb set. As such is deprecated by the W3C.
| |
− | * Can interfere with web cache architectures
| |
− | Decision:
| |
− | * We will NOT use WebDAV
| |

| |
− | ==== Should we use Google protocol buffers? ====
| |
− | Reasons For:
| |
− | * Mature
| |
− | * High performance
| |
− | * Good libraries in both C++ and Java
| |
− | Reasons Against:
| |
− | * Question: Might using protobuf reduce the likelyhood of the CardSpace team collaborating with us and potentially using the [[CardSync Web App]]? <-- an outcome that would increase interoperability in the industry
| |
− | Decision:
| |
− | * We will NOT use Google protocol buffers
