Tizen Native API  5.5
Representation

IoTCon Representation provides API to manage representation.

Required Header

#include <iotcon.h>

Overview

The IoTCon Representation API provides data type of resp_repr handling.
A resp_repr is a payload of a request or a response.
It has uri_path, list of resource interfaces, list of resource types and its attributes.
Attributes have capabilities to store and retrieve integer, boolean, double, string, byte string, list, null, resp_repr.
A list is a container that includes number of data of same type.
It has capabilities to store and retrieve integer, boolean, double, string, byte string, list, null, resp_repr. Example :

#include <iotcon.h>
...

    int ret;
