The IDO Request XML Schema

The IDO Request XML Schema is the native Mongoose format for the IDO Request Interface. The Mongoose UI uses this transport format for all aspects of the execution of the user interface. The other options provided for the IDO Request Interface (REST, SOAP, .NET class library) are mappings to and from this protocol.

Understanding the IDO Request XML Schema is, therefore, helpful, even if you are leveraging other options, because it shows all the actual capabilities. You can “wiretap” a session in your application and see this format of the traffic between the client and application server. You can also use this format directly, by sending and receiving these XMLs to the Mongoose web server from custom client code.
