Release notes

• GatewayScript (JavaScript run time)

  GatewayScript provides a flexible and familiar programming run time for custom or complex processing for mobile, web, and API workloads.

  • ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) (JavaScript) programming language that runs in strict mode.
  • CommonJS 1.0 module support
  • Supports block-scoping

• GraphQL

  Support is provided for the June 2018 edition of the GraphQL specification.

  For limitations of the GraphQL DataPower implementation, see GraphQL limitations.

• JSON

  A DataPower service supports JSON processing for the following actions.

  • Convert query parameters to XML with JSON input conversion.
  • Transform with XQuery as the transform language and JSON input language.
  • Validate with a JSON schema.
  • Run a GatewayScript.

  The convert-http action conforms to RFC 4627, whereas the XQuery transform, the JSON schema validation, and the GatewayScript parser conform to RFC 7159.

• JSONx

  JSONx, an XML Encoding for JSON defined by draft 00. A DataPower service supports JSONx processing in the following conditions.

  • When the service converts a JSON message to an XML message with a convert-http action.
  • When the service processes a JSON message that is specified as the JSON message type.
  • When the service converts a JSONx message to a JSON message with a transform action that uses the jsonx2json.xsl stylesheet.

• JSON schema

  JSON schema validation

  • Supports JSON schema validation as defined by draft-03, A JSON Media Type for Describing the Structure and Meaning of JSON Documents.
  • Supports JSON schema validation as defined by draft-04, A JSON Schema: core definitions and terminology and JSON Schema: interactive and non interactive validation. The specification is also available as a self-describing JSON schema.

• JSONiq

  Support is provided for the following JSONiq specification

  JSONiq defined by draft 0.4.42, with the following limitations and exclusions.

  • The XQuery query must include a declaration for the 0.4.42 version of JSONiq. When the query does not include the declaration, JSONiq is not supported. The declaration must have the following syntax.

    declare option jsoniq-version "0.4.42";

  • Support for collections is provided to the same degree as support for collections in XQuery.
  • Support excludes JSON updates.
  • Support excludes parsing and serialization of JSON with XML.
  • Support excludes sequence of input documents.
