| Their pitch | The VoW application exposes the validation services using the Representational state transfer (REST) architectural style over the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. This will allow any third-party application to verify the validity of a VAT number one by one, retrieve the status of the member state service, and test the integration of the VAT validation service. |
