It would be really nice if it was natively possible to retrieve some simple data from RESTful API endpoints.
This would typically be something of the likes of:
HTTP(S)://{hostname}/api/getPointData/{pointname}
which would then return an JSON formatted result
The JSON result could be 'parsed' in a similar fashion to the likes of the SparkPlug driver which has been made available.
Whilst SIs could create such a driver, it is difficult to get this adopted by end-users, and it requires more complicated support in regards to upgrade processes etc.
Having it all native to the product, and with driver updates shipped alongside the Geo SCADA server components would provide he best end-user experience.
