scope:

This Recommendation establishes guidelines for implementation conformance statement (ICS) proformas for interface systems based on representational state transfer (REST) and the specification of these proformas. The REST-based interface implementation conformance statement (RIICS) is made by an implementer to claim conformance to a REST-based interface specification. This Recommendation provides the concepts of conformance testing of REST-based interfaces, describes the containment relationship of the YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) Ain't a Markup Language (YAML) elements, designs the support tables needed for the ICSs, and provides guidelines for completing ICS proformas.
