Creating a web API using WCF
I was assigned to design and develop an API which will expose our functionality over the web, I am fairly new to this, so I got some questions...
开发者_StackOverflow中文版The Requests
The API should support clients from all sorts of platforms and
programming languages (may include some propriety platforms/devices)The API will be exposed to paying clients and secured by SSL (this is a must, money is invloved)
Our code is in .NET, so WCF should be used.
After some research around the web I'm thinking about the following solution:
Exposing the methods through POST/GET (other bindings if needed)
For additional client identification and Authorization password and username will be sent as parameters.
Should I use WCF Web API, or is it unnecessary?
In the article Exposing WCF API - Best Practices, I read that if the channel is SSL secured, then simple username/password is the simplest way for Authorization purposes
I don't know if I should elaborate and explain more, but am I on the right track?
I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use WCF. You should have look at WCF REST programming model too http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc950529.
