REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architecture style that is used to design web services and applications. REST is based on standard communication protocols such as HTTP and uses resources as the basic units of data exchange. REST allows for easy creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data using standard HTTP operations such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. REST is widely used in various web and mobile applications because it offers simplicity, flexibility, and scalability compared to other architecture styles such as SOAP.

Introduction to Mercury DB (HgDB) 3.0

Mercury DB is a service server (SOAP and REST) that enables the management of any objects, also referred to as cases. The engine is based on the relational SQL model, whereby data is stored in a relational database. The combination of objects and relations allows for the utilization of Mercury DB as an object database, supporting ACID transactions (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability), as well as integration with traditional BI (business intelligence) systems for business data analysis. It facilitates interconnectivity between the domains of NoSQL databases (e.g., ElasticSearch, MongoDB) and those of relational databases (e.g., Oracle, DB2, PostgreSQL, MySQL).
