LexEVS will be dropping support for the caCORE service model and the services that are part of this model. These include the GetXML, GetHTML and similar Query by Example (QBE) services that were provided by the inclusion of caCORE into LexEVS. Legacy Data Service users will have to transition to the CTS2 REST API. The advantage is that CTS2 is a living, active project that supports JSON as well as XML as a return format.
Example:
- A REST Call to LexEVS like https://lexevsapi6.nci.nih.gov/lexevsapi64/GetXML?query=org.LexGrid.concepts.Entity%5B@_entityCode=C29378%5D
- Will instead look like this: https://lexevscts2.nci.nih.gov/lexevscts2/codesystem/NCI_Thesaurus/entity/C29378?format=xml
- Or even https://lexevscts2.nci.nih.gov/lexevscts2/codesystem/NCI_Thesaurus/entity/C29378?format=json
While updating the query is straightforward, interpreting the results being returned is less so. The legacy service returned XML that conformed to the caCORE model while the CTS2 returns XML that conforms to the LexEVS model. To aid in conversion, a Mapping from caCORE REST data service results to CTS2 REST service results is provided:
