Zoom form with JSON Web Service entity

Zoom forms with web services allow programmable access to a zoom form's functionality through a published service.

A Zoom form and Web Service entity generates the code for a Zoom form (a GUI supporting read operations only) and the code for a single standalone Web Service. There is no relation between the form and standalone Web service, however you can use the same object in two different situations: to display a read-only form and to define a Web Service.

Note: Only Read operation is generated for a Zoom form and Web Service entity.

For a Zoom form with JSON Web Service entity, the Type property states "ZoomWebServiceJSON". The XML representation of a Zoom form with JSON Web Service entity is a .4fdzwsj file.

When you implement a Zoom form with Web Service entity, you have the option to:

Implement Form and Web Service
Implement Form and Web Service from Database

The object files can be opened and edited in Form Designer. In addition to the properties of a Zoom form entity, additional properties are found under the heading Web Service.
