Service interface protocols and data format

SWIM-DEFN-260

A service definition may include or refer to information about:

• the service interface protocols (including name and version); and

• data format to be used.

The service provider should be aware if any protocol and data format is to be implemented.

Requiring that specific protocols and data formats are implemented enforces interoperability between the service provider and the service consumer.

Completeness: Not Applicable.

Consistency: If provided, verify that the protocols and data format are consistent with the service interface binding.

Correctness: Not Applicable.

Example:

• transport / messaging protocols: The service shall use TLS1.2 or later in accordance with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile.

• data format: The service shall offer data in XML and JSON data format.

Example:

• The service shall offer the data in binary data format.

Note: The service message (SWIM-DEFN-280) may detail a schema for the data format.
