| [Documentation Home] | [Release Note]
The Web services (WS) platform, based on XML messaging, is the only
enterprise-class platform for integration that is completely open and agreed
across the industry. Based on the concept of Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA), the Web services specifications support secure, reliable and
transactional integration based on the concept of loose coupling, which is
inherently scalable. Many vendors have "bolted on" support for Web services
and XML to their existing proprietary product solutions. WSO2 has created a
new platform that cuts out unnecessary layers, supporting the full
WS-* stack in a simple, clean, lightweight model, making it easier to
develop, deploy and run applications.
WSO2's Data Services solution is an extremely simple and elegant
mechanism to take data and make it available as a set of WS-* style Web services or as a
set of REST style Web resources. As of now it supports relational data, CSV,
Excel and Google spread sheet files as data sources. The data can be exposed and accessed
in a secure(using WS-Security) and reliable(using WS-ReliableMessaging) manner.
WSO2 Data Services supports most of the major components of the WS-* stack and
provides an integrated runtime that is easy for developers and administrators
to use.
