REST JDBC Driver
Easily connect live REST data with Java-based BI, ETL, reporting, AI/ML & custom apps.
The REST JDBC Driver enables users to connect with live REST data, directly from any applications that support JDBC connectivity. Rapidly create and deploy powerful Java applications that integrate with REST.
REST JDBC Connectivity Features
- SQL-92 access to JSON- and XML-based REST APIs and JSON/XML documents
- Connect to live REST data, for real-time data access with the REST ADO.NET Provider
- Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
- Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
- Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the REST Connector.
Target Service, API
Universal REST API connector that can connect to any REST/JSON API. Configurable through connection string or external configuration files.
Schema, Data Model
Flexible schema definition through configuration. Can automatically infer schema from JSON responses or use predefined schemas.
Key Objects
Endpoints defined in configuration are exposed as tables. Supports nested JSON structures with various flattening strategies.
Operations
Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE operations mapped to SQL operations. Custom requests through stored procedures.
Authentication
Highly configurable authentication including OAuth 1.0/2.0, API Key, Basic, JWT, and custom authentication flows.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI
Build REST integrations faster with AI that understands your schema
Schema-aware AI
CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your REST schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your JDBC Drivers.
Your AI knows SQL
How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to REST.
More accurate, more token-efficient
With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
