Things HTTP API
Criteria | Description |
---|---|
Programming language | Almost any programming language, e.g. Java, JavaScript, NodeJS, .NET, Python, C/C++ |
Connection paradigm | Connectionless protocol with lower permanent resource allocation on sporadic transactions |
Channel security | HTTPS - HTTP over Transport Layer Security |
Message exchange pattern | blocking request - response |
