A REST API at enables applications to submit RASON models to Frontline’s servers, solve them, and obtain results in JSON. RASON, an acronym for RESTful Analytic Solver™ Object Notation, denotes a high-level, declarative modeling language that is embedded in JSON ( JavaScript Object Notation), the popular structured format widely used to pass data between Web clients and servers. “The RASON service makes creating and deploying analytics models radically simple.” A new generation of apps that can use advanced analytics ‘behind the scenes’ in domains ranging from finance, logistics and energy to consumer services and even games are now much easier to build with RASON. “Deployment of advanced analytics for web and mobile applications has been quite difficult in the past,” said Daniel Fylstra, Frontline's President and CEO.
