Next version of Big5 plug-in for HS3 due for release later this week will allow users to integrate HS3 with any API build around REST guidelines including popular JSON API.
Included in the release are
RESTful HTTP (can choose method: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
JSON support for parsing incoming messages incl. documentation examples
JSON support for outgoing messages by using larger text-boxes (which also required Save button)
Custom headers for HTTP
Unlike other HS3 plug-ins that deal with one API for one particular use only, BIG5 is an universal tool allowing qualified HS3 users to hook to an API of their choice.
The new Big5 will open the flood gates for multiple applications from a tiny weather station, power outlets, or modern car to Facebook, Twitter, Google maps. API is the modern way for devices and systems to communicate and Big5 got you covered. While the basic Big5 is easy to use for everyone (no programming skills needed), the REST API integration requires some skills and experience. Stay tuned for the upcoming release. Also worth mentioning is that Big5 is currently available at a reduced introductory price of $29.99.
