REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural model in which data and functionality (document, image, temporal service, collection of other resources, even a "non-virtual" object) are considered "resources" identified by a URI. Clients and servers exchange representations of resources using a standardized interface and protocol (e.g., HTTP).
FairCom provides a REST interface for high-speed processing with immediately-consistent ACID transactions. This API is ideally suited for raw sensor data. Relational (SQL) is for applications that require a relational data access.
The REST API includes resources for performing navigational (NoSQL) operations on entities such as tables, records, indexes, queries, and errors.
This module for Node.js provides the methods you can call to create and delete tables and create records and indexes, as well as a method to query the database.
For tutorials demonstrating the use of this API, see the FairCom REST API for Node.js - Quick Start Guide.
