Web applications not built using the ASP.NET technology require a slight interoperability layer between the two environments. This is achieved by the means of a web service embedding DocuVieware. In practice, DocuVieware is hosted on its own Windows IIS server (with the full.NET Framework 4.6 or above) and the web application uses DocuVieware through a REST service. In this state-of-the-art web application architecture, the control code is obtained on demand via the web service single base URL. The REST service is implemented in C# using the ASP.NET Web API 2 from the.NET Framework 4.6. It contains a single `POST` method that will send and receive data using JSON. This unique method takes a mandatory parameter: a configuration object to customize DocuVieware content, behavior, and appearance. This configuration object also includes a session identifier and a control identifier. The session identifier should be the session identifier from the session mechanism your application is using. The control identifier is the name of the DocuVieware instance that will be attached to the session, usually `DocuVieware1`. The content of the configuration object can be adapted to the project. The response to the `POST` request contains the DocuVieware HTML5 markup to be used within the target page in the form of a JSON object. ## Related guides - [Serving DocuVieware through a REST API](/guides/docuvieware/other-technologies/serving-docuvieware-through-a-rest-api.md) Set up a REST API service to serve DocuVieware using ASP.NET Web API 2, including project creation and essential references. -
