HTTP REST component

Overview

The HTTP REST component implements functionality to call REST and related web APIs, and use them in integration flows. The component comes with a dedicated HTTP REST API metadata object.

Legacy REST workflows

Semarchy xDI also comes with a WSDL connector that can interface with both SOAP and REST APIs. It is useful when you have REST APIs that does not include service descriptions, but requires more configuration. Consult http-rest-legacy/overview.adoc[the legacy documentation here].

You should use the dedicated HTTP REST API metadata when possible.
