UWS Explorer

The UWS Explorer is a simple Windows GUI tool that is designed to help you learn about Wireless Network Services capabilities and see them in operation. It uses the same APIs that your application will use to communicate with the ThingSpace Platform. The tool lets you construct web service requests by picking items from lists and selecting options, and then you can send the requests to the ThingSpace Platform and see the XML representations of the request and response objects.

With UWS Explorer you can:

Invoke APIs and view the resulting XML representations of the request and response objects.
Generate XML code and optionally use that code in your applications.
View the C# source code that implements the API calls in Microsoft Visual Studio.
