Abstract:
Systems and methods for enabling and managing API interactions through one or more location-agnostic software brokers interchangeably on premises as well as in a cloud environment are provided. These systems and methods may include a tree-based hierarchy of hypermedia components and additional metadata to enable comparisons between distinct APIs accessed via various and wide-ranging protocols. These systems and methods may provide portability across relational and non-relational data stores to support hybrid and location-specific installations of software brokers and allow users to access and leverage on-premises (e.g., private) model entities side-by-side with off-premise (e.g., public or cloud) model entities. Flexibility across model entities may provide portability and sharing across multiple environments, thereby providing a highly leveraged environment that may reduce duplication of efforts in the management of API interactions.
