What is SDE?

SDE is a JSON and XML API for Sage 100 Standard, Advanced, and Premium. Web and Application developers use JSON or XML to post Sales Orders, Quotes, Customers, Vendors, almost any object in Sage 100. Developers can also define the data returned by a GET or the response from a POST. They can do all this without needing to know much about Sage 100.

How does SDE Work?

SDE resides on your server, listening for JSON or XML requests. When a authorized request is received, SDE queries your Sage 100, and responds to the request. Post requests (update and create) are handled by the Sage 100 native business objects.

Even User Defined Tables and Fields can be read, and written to, via SDE. Business Objects and object overrides, written by Sage 100 Developers, are available as well.
