What is Interoperability?
It is the ability of different systems or software to exchange data with each other seamlessly.
Overview
Interoperability is the understanding of two systems written in different languages or with different technologies by speaking a common language. For example, it is thanks to this ability that an accounting program can communicate automatically with bank systems. This feature allows technologies to form an ecosystem without being dependent on each other.
How it works
Typically, APIs are delivered using standard data formats (such as JSON) and common protocols.
Where it is used
It is of critical importance in enterprise software, IoT devices and large projects where different services combine.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't every system have this feature?
Sometimes companies want to keep their systems closed or different technologies are not technically compatible with each other.
