This document discusses the emerging era of the Internet of Things where everything is connected through the internet. It explains that the growth of connected devices, sensors, and web services is exploding. The common language for connecting these things is JSON, which the FME software understands. OAuth is also important as an open standard for authorization that provides a single approach to connecting devices, sensors, and services securely. The document demonstrates how OAuth works through an authentication sequence and shows an OAuth demo connecting a weather station and GitHub through FME.
