Hi Friends,
What is json and why is it used in Anaplan?
Also what is Apiary?
@Sravan_Kumar
All great questions Sravan!
JSON stands for "Java Script Object Notation", its a special notation that allows you to pair the key and value together, thus avoiding the issues with flat tables. Example: {name: "Sravan", age: 28, city: "New York City"}; JSON also allows you to send data that's hierarchical. JSON is only used with the Anaplan API when it sends messages about the API call you make. Like whether the action was successful or not. For transaction data, Anaplan sends transaction data as a CSV format (flat).
An Apiary is where bees are kept, but sometimes, in IT, the term Apiary is used to describe the API library, or the dictionary of all the APIs you can call. So in this case the Anaplan Apiary for version 1.3 would contain all the RESTful APIs and how to use them. You can find the 1.3 Apiary here.
Keep the questions coming!
