AtmoWeb is a REST interface with JS0N format for the exchange of data
JSON (Javascript 0bject Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. lt is easy for humans to read and write. lt is easy for machines to parse and generate. lt is based an a subset of the Javascript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Perl, Python and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style which uses a subset of HTTP. lt is commonly used to create interactive applications that use web services. A web service that follows these guidelines is called RESTful. Such a web service must provide its web resources in a textual representation and allow them to be read and modified with a stateless protocol and a predefined set of operations. This approach allows interoperability between the computer systems an the internet that provide these services. REST is an alternative to, for example, S0AP as way to access a web service. REST has been employed throughout the software industry to create stateless, reliable web-based applications.
