The YumaPro SDK RESTCONF interface
RESTCONF is a REST like protocol running over an HTTP interface to access the YumaPro NETCONF server datastores. The RESTful interface provides a familiar model to a mature WEB development eco-system that includes:
- large pool of experienced developers
- many development tools
- support by most integrated development environments (IDEs)
- part of the standard CS educational curriculum
The REST resource model allows efficient management:
- entity tags are fully supported for caching and multi-client edit protection
- better encoding efficiency using JSON encoding, entity tags, and HEAD method
- flexibility with JSON or XML encoding options
- Server Notifications with standard W3C Server-Side Events
RESTCONF Operations:
- NETCONF:
subtree specifies data node targets - RESTCONF: request URI specifies target resource
For more details about RESTCONF please see IETF RFC 8040
