Is there any capability that Sepasoft Web Server module offers that is not exposed and directly available in Ignition by itself?

Hi peeps,

For REST and SOAP capabilities, I am trying to evaluate the real need in real-time applications for the Web Server module from Sepasoft and wonder if it delivers services and features that Ignition alone without it cannot offer?

In other words, when is it a must to use the module and when Ignition can be used alone and still deliver the same outcome? Pros vs Cons? Comparison matrix if any?

Thanks guys! :pray:

Any feedback team? Am I asking the right questions?

I've seen a few posts on this forum comparing the Sepasoft Web Services module with Ignition's WebDev module. In the end, I think you might have better results with providing details of your specific use case.
Here is a blog with a decent comparison of the two:

Note that if you are only looking to request data from an external API, it might be that neither module is necessary.
