Project Description

ESP (Enterprise Services Platform) is an HPCC Systems component that hosts web services functions. It’s a container for running services. ESP is what provides users and organizations with the ability to write and run web services in HPCC Systems, support revenue based products, and can leverage the dynamic ESDL engine for flexibility and ease of use. A couple of examples of ESP services are WsECL, which allows you to interface to published queries on Roxie or Thor, and ECL Watch which is the web-based query execution, monitoring and file management interface. ESP supports a number of protocols including, SOAP, XML, HTTP, REST and JSON.
