CSW Support
===========
Versions
--------
pycsw supports both CSW 2.0.2 and 3.0.0 versions by default. In alignment with
the CSW specifications, the default version returned is the latest supported
version. That is, pycsw will always behave like a 3.0.0 CSW unless the client
explicitly requests a 2.0.2 CSW.
The sample URLs below provide examples of how requests behaves against
various/missing/default version parameters.
.. code-block:: bash
http://localhost/csw # returns 3.0.0 Capabilities
http://localhost/csw?service=CSW&request=GetCapabilities # returns 3.0.0 Capabilities
http://localhost/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetCapabilities # returns 2.0.2 Capabilities
http://localhost/csw?service=CSW&version=3.0.0&request=GetCapabilities # returns 3.0.0 Capabilities
Request Examples
----------------
The best place to look for sample requests is within the `tests/` directory,
which provides numerous examples of all supported APIs and requests.
