JSON-WSP
open-in-new
<h2 id="specifications">Specifications</h2> <p>JSON-WSP consists of four JSON object specifications: </p> <table><tbody><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td>description</td><td>Service description specification (like <a href="/facts/WSDL/tQPIot4A">WSDL</a>). This specification describes methods, method parameters, types and return types. It also supports user documentation on service, method and parameter levels.</td></tr><tr><td>request</td><td>Specification for JSON requests. It contains information about which method that is to be invoked and all the arguments for the method call. Arguments in the request must obey the parameter definition of the same method described in the corresponding JSON-WSP description.</td></tr><tr><td>response</td><td>Specification for JSON responses. The response object contains the result of a service method invocation. The return type must obey the defined return type of the same method in the corresponding JSON-WSP description.</td></tr><tr><td>fault</td><td>Specification for JSON fault responses. The fault object contains a fault code and a fault string. The fault information specifies whether the fault occurred on the client or server side. Depending on the server side service framework more detailed information can be extracted, i.e. the filename and line number where the fault occurred.</td></tr></tbody></table> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"ECMAScript – 2017 Language Specification" (PDF).
