Representational State Transfer (REST) has gained widespread acceptance across the Web as a simpler alternative to SOAP- and Web Services Description Language (WSDL)-based Web services. Key evidence of this shift in interface design is the adoption of REST by mainstream Web 2.0 service providers -- including Yahoo, Google, and Facebook -- who have deprecated or passed on SOAP and WSDL-based interfaces in favor of an easier-to-use, resource-oriented model to expose their services. In this article, Alex Rodriguez introduces you to the basic principles of REST.
This dissertation introduces and elaborates the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems, describing the software engineering principles guiding REST and the interaction constraints chosen to retain those principles, while contrasting them to the constraints of other architectural styles.
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) was created by a consortium of forward-looking industry experts who recognize the immense value of standardizing on how REST APIs are described. As an open governance structure under the Linux Foundation, the OAI is focused on creating, evolving and promoting a vendor neutral description format.
Dan Wahlin will walk us through integrating Angular with RESTful services using RxJS and Observables. For those of you who don't know Dan - he is the founder...
How do we know how much Restful API is? Some developers call it “Not Restful API”, some call it “Partially Restful API”, for some, it is “Fully Restful API”, and for some “It is not REST API at all or they call it SOAP based web service”. Imagine it as a spectrum from Not Restful to Fully Restful API. To know at which level API stand, Richardson introduces a model called Richardson Maturity Model. As the name itself suggests, it tells about the maturity level of REST API.
Let’s face it, if you’re a web developer, you deal with APIs. Whether you write your own or use someone else’s, it’s just part of the job. REST APIs in particular are very common place. Unfortunately…

seconded, it's amazing how many people claim to make "REST APIs", but they fall so short in a lot of aspects. DRF makes it almost impossible if used correctly. "
In this article, Stefan Tilkov explains some of the most common anti-patterns found in applications that claim to follow a "RESTful" design and suggests ways to avoid them: tunneling everything through GET or POST, ignoring caching, response codes, misusing cookies, forgetting hypermedia and MIME types, and breaking self-descriptiveness.
But, the person can read all rows from the table. You could try to use a view but probably, you would just implement some filtering in your proxy. “Just implement some filtering” becomes a problem when the HTTP Plugin is your proxy. There’s no script language, you can’t do that. Unless, there was a script language built-in to the proxy…
Espresso provides an API as soon as you register your database. It introspects the database schema and populates the repository with the required metadata. Each table becomes a REST endpoint with services such as pagination, filtering, and optimistic locking out-of-the-box.
A model (developed by Leonard Richardson) that breaks down the principal elements of a REST approach into three steps. These introduce resources, http verbs, and hypermedia controls.
The DBacesslayer aka DBSlayer aka Släyer is a lightweight database abstraction layer suitable for high-load websites where you need the scalable advantages of connection pooling. Written in C for speed, DBSlayer talks to clients via JSON over HTTP
CRest is a lightweight JAX-RS compatible annotation-driven java library that aims to simplify the integration of third party RESTful services allowing the developer to focus on the essential aspects of the integration.
RESTful Webservices with Java (Jersey / JAX-RS) This tutorial explains how to develop RESTful web services in Java with the JAX-RS reference implementation Jersey. In this tutorial Eclipse 4.2 (Juno), Java 1.6, Tomcat 6.0 and JAX-RS 1.1. (Jersey 1.5) is used.
