Summary


In this chapter, we gained an overview of RESTful services and how they are becoming more fashionable in the world of smart devices.

We covered how important it is to structure the URL resource hierarchy of a REST-based web service and how to manage versioning and security. We also discussed the format of the response message and how to specify the expected format using header properties.

Next, we discussed the WCF-WebHttp adapter that is shipped with BizTalk 2013 covering the new context properties to manage REST-based services. Then, we created some sample solutions to publish and consume a RESTful web service. In both samples, we covered creating custom receive and send pipeline components to process JSON-style messages.
