JSON Reference

As Avatica uses JSON to serialize messages sent over an HTTP transport,the RPC layer is agnostic of the language used by a client. While the Avaticaserver is written in Java, this enables clients to interact with the serverusing any language instead of being limited to Java.

A specification of the JSON request and response objects are documentedbelow. Programmatic bindings for these JSON objects are only availablein Java. For support outside of Java, see the Protocol Bufferbindings
