WCF Services	http://[servername]:[port]/SmartObjectServices/wcf/[smartobject]	Use .NET code to execute SmartObject methods through a Web Service. The WCF service provides strongly-typed classes which makes development easy.
REST Services	http://[servername]:[port]/SmartObjectServices/rest/[smartobject]/[method]	Execute SmartObject methods through a Web Service from any technology capable of interacting with REST web services

The K2 SmartObject Tester utility, located at
[Program Files]\K2 blackpearl\Bin\SmartObject Service Tester.exe
is an extremely valuable tool for developers who are writing code against SmartObjects.
You can use this utility to explore SmartObjects, generate code, test ADO queries, test SmartObjects and more. We encourage you to use the utility and become very familiar with it since it will help considerably when you are writing code against K2 SmartObjects.
