CardSync Service 1.1
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins|eclipse_custom_style.css}}
The CardSync Service is a web service that synchronizes card data between itself and one or more selector clients. Changes made on any one of a user's selectors are synchronized to all of the other of that user's selectors.
Contents
Version
The CardSync Service is being developed as part of Higgins 1.1.
Design Goals
Here are the original design goals for the CardSync Web App:
- 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
Used By
- The CardSync Service will be first used by the GTK Selector 1.1-Win solution. It is used by the Synchronizing Card Store within the Local I-Card Service.
