Desenvolvimento de um Web Service REST para um protótipo de aplicativo no contexto pecuário

Abstract

Computing is constantly evolving and is widespread in many areas helping people in their daily activities. Using IT (Information Technology) can be a good way to make life easier, more productive work, and more effective decisions. In the context of a rural producer’s activities, its market position may be more competitive with the insertion of technologies for management in its business areas such as production and marketing. A survey con ducted by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation points out that in 2018 there were 220 million active smartphones in Brazil, such an expressive number of devices generates a consid erable amount of information that needs to be stored. A database is the most common solution for a company to store information relevant to its organization. Smartphones has great potential to assist the small, medium and large rural producer. In addition to high technology, a smartphone has the characteristic of mobility, a farmer can use it anywhere in his property. Therefore, this work aims to create and document a WS (Web Service), which will have the function of creating a standardized communication between a database and a livestock management application produced by Embrapa. The proposed Web Service, combnined with the database, will enable that information can be stored so it can be read and shared later on between users of the app. For the development of the work REST (Representa tional State Transfer) was used as architecture model of the WS.
