OJ Break v2 Media Reference
Introduction
OJ_Break is the name of the xBio:D RESTful API service which enables the discovery of data within the xBio:D database. The API can respond with HTML, JSON, XML, or JSON with padding (JSONP) and accepts HTTP GET and POST requests indiscriminately. The backend of the API is written in Oracle's PL/SQL database language, which is fast but often inflexible, while a Python presentation layer mitigates request handling and authentication.
OJ_Break Version 2 is a new and improved edition of the work started in Version 1. Version 2 introduces a completely restructured and standardized data model to further enhance the functionality of the xBio:D database.
