Hi Christian,

Thanks - I'll have a look.

The database is a services layer that can serve many clients.  The POC client is written in Vue, we will also have at least one C# client, there may be others, so I want to avoid any dependencies on specific web frameworks. The services deliver XML or JSON, depending on the nature of the request - document content is in XML, directory level stuff and various other things are in JSON.

I definitely plan to use RESTXQ and your test framework.

I very much appreciate your helpfulness.

Hi Jonathan,

You could have a look at the DBA code (but it might require some
preknowledge on how RESTXQ works) [1]. We decided to keep the DBA code
pretty lean (it uses basic HTML and a few lines of JavaScript code).
If you are planning to create a full web application, you may want to
choose a client framework that suits you best (XForms; or Angular,
Vue, React, …). Do you have any preferences?

Best,
Christian
