Research and Development of Web of Things System Based on Rest Architecture

With the popularization of web of things technology and the deployment of embedded devices, the types and quantities of smart objects are continuously growing, and web of things equipment and systems are increasingly popular in people's daily lives. The traditional SOAP-based web service is too complex, rarely exposed to the linkages and almost never uses HTTP features. In order to overcome these disadvantages, we apply REST architecture and propose the web of things systems based on it. This paper firstly introduces the basic concept of the REST architecture, and then describes the web of things system based on REST architecture. Lastly, the development of the system is detailed presented. REST architecture improves a lot in the flexibility and simplification of the system.
