Introduction

Aras Innovator’s RESTful API uses the Open Data Protocol (OData) to create and consume a RESTful API. OData is an ISO/IEC approved OASIS standard that defines best practices for building and consuming RESTful APIs.

JSON enables the Aras Innovator client to communicate with the Aras Innovator server more efficiently through the use of a more compact data format and faster processing. It also allows for communication with other systems that support the OData protocol.
