Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) was first released back in 2010 as the APEX Listener. REST support for JSON actually wasn't added until version 1.1 in 2011. Then in 2014, the product was renamed to Oracle REST Data Services to emphasize the commitment to REST.
At this point, ORDS does a lot! It still the best option for an APEX listener and APEX developers can still use the APEX GUI to create RESTful web services with ORDS. But there are new ways to create service definitions, including a GUI in SQL Developer and a PL/SQL API. We'll take a look at all three of those options in this post. We will not, however, be exploring the auto-REST enabling of schema objects or Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) for REST capabilities. Those are exciting features I'll cover in future posts!
