The Sybase® Unwired Platform REST Services API enables standard HTTP client applications running in any platform to access Sybase Unwired Platform REST services.
Unwired Server provides REST services so that applications can be built as any standard HTTP application to leverage Unwired Server for security and push features among others.
The application can download resources (such as meta-data files, multimedia files, and so on.) through resource bundles service, in order to initialize client application.
Then, the application can access SAP Gateway through proxy service, and receive native push notification triggered by gateway if push properties are configured and enabled. If application supports can also upload the business transactions for tracing using BTX service.
You build your client applications using third party developer tools, and without using any Sybase Mobile SDK or native client libraries. Sybase Unwired Platform provides management and monitoring of the applications, and support for native push notification such as Apple Push Notification Service, BlackBerry Enterprise Server push, or Google Cloud Messaging.
Optionally, you may use certain Sybase Unwired Platform native client libraries to enable complex application capabilities, such as OData parsing and building, or data vault management. You may also use third party JavaScript helper libraries such as those from Sencha, Appcelerator, or Adobe PhoneGap.
