It sounds like SOAP, which in my experience ends badly. Yes because, well, SOAP, but also because sharing your schema means you're stuck with it along with any internal assumptions about design that result from it. I'm assuming you're more likely talking about something like GRPC/protobuf which I have similar gripes about.

search.

I advertise a rule set, you give me a function - pattern really - and i return all the data related to that pattern.

There are other organizations that accept a function. effectively the result is return the record in the True case, and don't in the False case.
