In recent years, Broadcom has been expanding the Automation Engine REST API to add capabilities for importing and exporting objects.
All of these REST APIs use JSON for object definitions, instead of XML. The XML schema was once documented, but some years ago Broadcom stopped updating the public XML schema documentation.
The documentation page on Importing/Exporting Objects does not mention JSON. Will the JSON object schema be documented?
The documentation pages for the MAX_IMPORT_SIZE and MAX_EXPORT_COUNT system settings do not mention JSON. They mention only XML. Do these limits apply to JSON imports and exports as well? Are there any other limits that impact JSON imports & exports?
It occurs to me that now that there is a third mechanism for moving object definitions between AE systems, it will soon be time to create an updated version of the table of pros and cons of the various approaches: Transport case unload/load vs. XML export/import.
