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 more efficiently with the Aras Innovator server using a more compact data format and faster processing. It also allows communication with other systems that support the OData protocol.
