API question - I need to connect to both SOAP API's and the new REST/json format. Does WA have a datasource connection plugin solution for connecting to API datasources?

DMX has a REST API but not SOAP here - https://www dmxzone com/go/33294/app-connect-api-data-source

Does WebAssist have an equivalent API connection solution that will connect to both the old SOAP technology and the new REST API's?

What I am looking to do is connect to an API data source - format either SOAP or REST.... and use it as if it were a database connection in building my page.... I would like to see it appear as if it were a mySQL data source but API instead.

If not then when will you ... this is very important.

Thanks
