Learn how to use FME to easily consume data from – and publish data to – virtually any web service such as REST, WFS, Atom, SOS, and OData. You'll see how to process complex geometry and schemas, transform as needed, and deliver data in virtually any format. Plus, get up and running in minutes with no coding and the ability to plug into existing infrastructure and seamlessly adapt to any changes.

11. What is a web service?

12. What is a web service?
 HTTP Request sent to web server via get, post, put,
delete
 URL may have parameters
 Body of request can be anything but is commonly XML
or JSON
 Server takes request grinds it and sends back
response!

13. FME Approach to Web Services
Remove the mystery – no coding required
Web service - just another format
Consume web services with Inspector or
workspace
Do value added transformations / processing
Workspaces which accept / generate XML become
web services once published to FME Server*
Create workspaces which both consume and
publish web service data streams – interaction

14. XML and JSON Transformers
 XMLFlattener
 XMLValidator
 XMLFormatter
 XMLUpdater
 XMLTemplater
 JSONFlattener
 JSONTemplater
 …

15. Web Transformers
 HTTPFetcher / HTTPUploader / HTTP*
 ImageFetcher
 Twitter
 GeoRSSFeatureExtractor
 WebCharter
 ArcGISOnline (FMEStore)
 HTMLtoXHTMLconverter
 …

16. Web Formats

17. Web Service Request Response
Web Server
url request via get, post, put, delete
Response JSON, XML
All web services follow the same pattern
