Draft:RESTful Provisioning Protocol
Computer network protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RESTful Provisioning Protocol (RPP) is a proposed series of IETF specifications aimed at a modern, web-native protocol for provisioning domain names, hosts, and contacts via HTTPS and JSON. It is intended to provide communication between domain name registries and domain name registrars whenever a domain name is registered or renewed. It is designed as a RESTful complement to the XML-based Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), leveraging common web tools like OpenAPI, API gateways, and RESTful principles to improve scalability and integration.
