Build, test, and use REST APIs through a visual workspace with environments, auth profiles, request preview, mock responses, OpenAPI / Swagger import, history, caching, and code generation support.
Instead of scattering API paths, headers, auth logic, and test code across many scripts, you configure everything in one visual workspace and then use the same setup in runtime code.
For programmers, you can also optionally generate a facade layer for API usage, so the integration is easier to use correctly and much harder to misuse.

Internet Data Framework 1.4 is now available. The release expands Workspace capabilities, adds support for new HTTP methods, and makes request retries more flexible and predictable.
Workspace assets now support versioning and safe migration. This makes it easier to evolve data structures and correctly update existing workspaces when moving to newer versions.
The release also introduces Workspace import and export using the IDF JSON format, making workspaces easier to transfer, back up, and share between environments.
The framework's HTTP capabilities now include the `HEAD` and `OPTIONS` methods. Request retries have gained delay limits and jitter, which helps distribute repeated requests over time. Runtime cache invalidation has also been added, allowing stale cached data to be cleared when needed.
The release also includes updates to SilkJson and the documentation system.
