Web API

Web API for accessing and modifying data stored in AET Database. This API is part of AET System and is the interface between system database, user and application.

Its methods are used by AET Maven Plugin to download reports, HTML Report uses it to load images and to perform rebase action.

Rebase (switching artifacts id of pattern(s)) and adding comments should be done on client side. Web API only consumes whole json representation of suite.
