SPECARIA SOAP-2-REST Product Overview
This document provides an overview of the SPECARIA SOAP-2-REST product, detailing its purpose, core capabilities, supported deployment topologies, and available support models.
Product Purpose
SPECARIA SOAP-2-REST is a no-code conversion platform that transforms existing SOAP services into RESTful, OpenAPI-described endpoints. These endpoints are automatically discovered from gateway-edge traffic, deterministically mapped, versioned, and observable end-to-end. It offers an alternative to market-leading API management platforms for organizations with SOAP-heavy backend estates that require REST modernization without a multi-quarter integration project. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
Core Capabilities
WSDL-driven Automation
The system supports uploading a WSDL or learning services from gateway-edge syslog. It fetches schemas, generates an OpenAPI v3 specification, and produces a deterministic full-field mapping without requiring a proprietary mediation language. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
In-app Observability
The platform includes an Operations Dashboard, F5 Live Traffic Log, error-rate KPIs, top-error services, and per-VS failure breakdown. These features read from pre-computed aggregation tables, providing sub-second load times on large datasets. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
No-code Administration
All onboarding, mapping review, publishing, and operational changes are managed through the browser UI under the API consumer's tenant URL. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
Versioned, Immutable Mappings
Every change creates a new revision, and rollback is available with a single action. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
UTF-8 / Locale-aware End-to-End
The system supports UTF-8 and is locale-aware end-to-end, including right-to-left scripts and gendered language. (source: docs/customer/README.md)
