Abstract: Existing network-based services can be reused by a new network service providing an updated interface to the existing services. A client request directed to the new network service triggers a back-end request from the new network service to the existing network service. The back-end request comprises aspects of the client's request and additional formatting rules and other information to override specific aspects of the existing network service. The existing network service generates a back-end response with its existing functionality that is being reused, and applies the specified overrides. Additional information to be utilized by the new network service in responding to the client can be added to the back-end response. The new network service can then form and transmit a response to the client by utilizing the central portion of the back-end response and appending additional information to it, including the information specified by the existing network-service.
