The JSON over WebSockets client-server protocol allows you to implement your own drivers for all kinds of platforms using a connection-based web protocol. The main advantages of WebSockets are:
- Performance improvements from lock-free metadata calls
- Flexibility regarding the programming languages you want to integrate Exasol into
- A more native access compared to the standard ways of communicating with a database, such as JDBC, ODBC, or ADO.NET.
To learn more about the WebSockets API, including details about the API specification, dependencies, and example implementations, visit the Exasol JSON over WebSockets API open source repository on GitHub.
The repository does not provide any drivers or driver support.
