O USO DE SERVIÇO RESTFUL PARA GERENCIAR E GERAR CONTEÚDO TURÍSTICO PARA APLICATIVO MÓVEL

Abstract

Nowadays there is a great technological evolution making it fundamental to provide information for different mobile devices with differently developed platforms. This evolution has given to the tourist area the expansion of its means of communication through all the technological media available. However, because it is a gigantic area and has different solutions for different situations, there is a large amount of data that needs to be filtered, so it has become slow to use a variety of solutions that search for destinations, verify reputation and create an itinerary. We look for with this work as a way to solve this demand the development of a computational solution that centralizes all tourist information. A mobile application and a Web Service were built that, through the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, uses transfer protocols to communicate. The results obtained demonstrate a significant efficiency of response time and agility in relation to the other solutions discussed. All data were validated in the laboratory based on a real case study in a small tourist town.
