SharePoint Products and Technologies Protocol Documents

SharePoint

The Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies protocol documentation provides detailed technical specifications for Microsoft proprietary protocols (including extensions to industry-standard or other published protocols) that are used by SharePoint Products and Technologies software (namely Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Microsoft SharePoint Server as well as Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Foundation) to communicate with other Microsoft products.

The documentation includes a set of companion overview and reference documents that supplement the technical specifications with conceptual background, overviews of inter-protocol relationships and interactions, and technical reference information.

About the Protocols

  • SharePoint Front-End Protocols. View for more information about protocols where SharePoint Products and Technologies implement only one of the protocol endpoints. These protocols are intended for interoperability between SharePoint Products and Technologies and external applications.

  • SharePoint Back-End Protocols. View for more information about protocols where SharePoint Products and Technologies implement both endpoints. These protocols are intended for interoperability between components of SharePoint Products and Technologies, or third party components implementing some or all of the functionality of a SharePoint component.
