CardSync Design Goals
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins|eclipse_custom_style.css}}
Original design goals for the CardSync Service:
- Support a RESTful interface (not SOAP)
- Only use protocols and technologies that are available royalty-free and are well documented
- Be compatible with selectors that support N>1 card stores
- Allow a selector to work completely offline
- Support bi-directional synchronization of individual cards and individual metadata entries about these cards
- Support strong authentication from client (selector) to CardSync Service
