Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "For example, say the URI /api/policies/id returned the policy resource for the specified ID. Then the URL /api/policies/id/assets will return all the assets linked to the respective policy."

A block of code is set as follows:

GET /policy/getPolicy?id=POLICY1122334455 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.contoso.inc

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

https://api.packinsurance.com/quotingservice/getquote?api-version=1.0
https://api.packinsurance.com/quotingservice/getquote?api-version=2.0

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Observe that Quote Service (Basic) is accessible to Guests."
