RESTful Web Services

I have extensive experience of consuming and publishing RESTful web services. Using mainly PhP and SQL I have created services that:

  • control access to specific databases
  • parse requests and convert JSON as required
  • error trap malformed or illegal requests
  • form database connections using ODBC and php libraries
  • audit requests
  • handle responses and convert as necessary

Consuming REST services within SQL I have written:

  • OLE SQL stored procedures to issue requests and receive responses
  • Convert JSON to XML and vice versa
  • Error trap standard errors where services are non responsive
  • Retrieve data from the HTTP header such as cookies
  • Parse the responses to provide targeted and bespoke output
