Key technologies

Redfish uses web and cloud-based technologies that enable communications with servers using common programming and scripting languages such as Python, JAVA, and C. The key technologies are as follows:
  • REpresentational State Transfer (REST) interface — REST is a web based API, which provides a way to interact with a system over a normal web connection. It supports both HTTPS and HTTP.
  • Java Script Notation (JSON) — JSON represents data in such a way that it is much easier to read than XML. It also provides the formatting that is required for scripting languages to interface with the data.
  • OData — It is important to standardize the data format when implementing a common interface across multiple vendors. OData provides the required framework to ensure that the data structure remains interchangeable between server vendors.
