What is REST API
REST, stands for Representational State Transfer, is an architecture that can be used dealing with web services. REST API defines the methods on which developers can perform requests and receive responses. Generally we use it for the various uses when we need JSON based data from one application to another one.
a REST service is
- Platform-independent (you don't care if the server is Windows, the client is a Linux/Android, or anything else)
- Language-independent (C# can talk to Java, etc.)
- Standards-based (runs on top of HTTP)
- Can easily be used in the presence of firewalls
What is JWT
JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or MACed and/or encrypted. So you can think JWT as a simple way to send information in the clear (usually in a URL) whose contents can be verified to be trusted.

Anyway, I am very confused and not sure which version it can support:
1- if I click on BUY NOW button it will take me to:
http://shop.xcellence-it.com/nopaccelerate-rest-web-services-api-plugin-nopcommerce-secured-jwt?utm_source=nop&utm_medium=extension&utm_campaign=rest-api-client-plugin&utm_content=plugin_url
where there is no supported version higher than 3.9 to buy, which makes me feel it is just an old plugin.
2- in the tags of the product it says: (Supported versions: 3.90, 4.00, 4.10, 4.20) but then in the same page description > General Features is saying ( Supported nopCommerce version(s) is 3.40 3.50, 3.60, 3.70, 3.80, 3.90.) only !!
I thought it can be a typo, so I decided to go to the documentation page to find more, but unfortunately
3- on the latest version (2.6.2) page :
http://docs.nopaccelerate.com/files/restapi-client-nop-commerce-plug-in/Version262.html
it mentions only the support for v3.8 !!
4- also, on the documentation > Features page:
http://docs.nopaccelerate.com/files/restapi-client-nop-commerce-plug-in/Features.html
it says: (11. Supported nopCommerce versions 3.40 to 4.00.).
So what exactly - for the God's sake - is the latest supported version by this plugin?? , and where is the guarantee document before we buy it????
I need a heavy confirmation that it supports v4.2, and I need to try that (or at least see a live store demo) to reassure my heart.
Thank you.
