Service Bus REST API Reference

The Windows Azure Service Bus offers a REST API for runtime and management (AtomPub) operations. By using REST, you can write applications in any language that supports HTTP requests, without the need for a client SDK. The Service Bus is a multi-protocol service. You can send and receive messages to or from the service using REST or .NET managed API, mixing and matching clients using different protocols in a given scenario. For example, you can send a message to a queue using one protocol and consume it using a different protocol. This topic is a reference for the Service Bus APIs over the REST protocol and contains the following sections:

• REST vs. .NET Client Support
  
  
• Addressing and Protocol
  
  
• Message Properties and Control
  
  
• Management APIs
  
  
• REST Run-Time APIs
