Creating a JSON service provider application

You can create a service provider application from a JSON schema that complies with JSON schema v4 (draft), or from a high-level language data structure. The CICS® JSON assistant helps you to deploy your CICS applications in a service provider setting.

1. Create the JSON schema and language data structures using the assistant.
   • To create the data structures starting with the JSON schema, see Creating a service provider application from a JSON schema.
   • To create the JSON schema starting with the data structures, see Creating a service provider application from a data structure.
2. To use your service provider application uses a channel interface with many containers, create a channel description document. For more information, see Creating a channel description document.
3. To customize automatically generated JSON schemas, see Customizing generated JSON schemas.
4. To implement a RESTful JSON-based web service, see Creating a RESTful web service provider application.
