AtomPub Interop
Posted by Joe Gregorio, Google Data APIs Team

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the Atom community held an interop session for the Atom Publishing Protocol. It’s a chance for client and server authors to get together and test the interoperability of their products.

As I’ve mentioned before, Google has been working hard to bring our services into strict compliance with the recently released AtomPub specification and to do so we brought a preview copy of the our Blogger Data API to the interop session. As you can see from the tracking grid we had good interop with all the clients that attended. The results for the Atom community across the board were also very good - almost all combinations of client and server worked fully with each other.

We would like to thank everyone that participated and had a hand in getting all these clients and servers available for the interop. It’s that spirit of cooperation and communication that helps the protocol gain acceptance and helps all of our customers have a smooth experience using Atom Publishing Protocol based services. We’re looking forward to participating in future interop sessions and working with more client and server authors.

In case it wasn’t clear from the above, the version of the Data APIs that we brought to the interop session is not currently available in production, but we will update you as soon as it goes live for Blogger. Subscribe to the Official Google Data APIs Blog for more information as it becomes available.
