Hello!
We are implementing ReTrans, a freight management logistics package with a JSON interface. The MS Docs reference this a bit in creating a service reference but fall short on usable examples.
Has anyone done this and would be willing to show or donate some example code, particularly in the X++ area?
Note this is AX 2012.
Thanks

You do not consume it in AX directly. Common practice is to build c sharp dll that interacts with the service, here is one of the blogs with possible approaches https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/233698/Consuming-a-Json-WebService-from-a-Csharp-or-VB-Ap and then use this DLL in AX. This way you handle all the complexity within c sharp code that has better tooling and expose to AX only simple methods that it needs.
Hi Konrad,
In AX2012, it is not possible to reference any Web service directly, you could consume web services from X++ code by adding Microsoft Visual Studio projects as a reference and by using Aif::CreateServiceClient.
Have a look at Joris' Blog:

Thanks for the information! It is appreciated.
