A universal, intelligent framework designed to enable and facilitate the implementation of open network protocols of ONDC. It provides for seamless API validation, experiencing real-world use cases and scenarios, and robust interoperability. Built for adaptability, it serves as a foundation for scalable, ONDC’s open-network implementations across diverse domains.
- Act as a universal protocol experience and enablement framework
- API processing & real-world scenario simulation including ONDC protocol checks
- Go-to source for development & validation
- Automation-driven testing for faster adoption
- Standardized api-level validation & compliance
- Enhanced debugging & error resolution
- Address development journey hindrances ONDC NPs face
Protocol Workbench offers guided assistance for experiencing open API based transactions being executed in an open network, as it simulates real NP-to-NP interactions – for example, a buyer app developer can illustrate flows against a simulated seller app in the sandbox – making end-to-end integration development feasible. It enforces protocol consistency with validations based on the flows defined, helping reduce divergent interpretations.
- Schema Validation Tool – Validates API payloads against ONDC specifications, highlighting inconsistencies / missing fields. NPs can simply Paste/ Upload their API json payloads. Based on the payload pasted, the tool takes the domain and the version for testing compliance and checks for errors in API schema, data types, required fields, enums and conditions as applicable by the model implementation. NPs can review errors on missing or incorrect fields and fix issues and re-test as required
- Flow Testing Suite – Simulates end-to-end transactions to verify adherence to protocol flows and expected behavior. It enables testing of complete ONDC workflows across buyer and seller interactions in the respective domain. Enter your details to get started with the testing. Once entered, based on the use case selected, flows specific to the domain/ use case will be available to initiate the flow testing process. Process & send payloads as per the flow and issues, if any, are highlighted as you proceed step by step.
