Our Elements are the root of what we do but don’t call them Connectors, it doesn’t do them justice. Their job is to provide a standard way to connect to endpoints, regardless of the nuances of each given endpoint, and frankly, is not as easy as it sounds.
One of these subtleties is with the query language required to filter data when retrieving it from an endpoint using API resources – it ranges from slight variations of SQL queries to OData or XML RPC filter queries. Some endpoints have their own, modified version of SQL queries (e.g. Bullhorn) in order to meet their specific search use cases, others use specialized query languages like SPARQL (e.g. Docustore). https://goo.gl/1wmLej #DataIntegration #ML
