RESTful JSON
Charter
Given that:
- REST is a powerful architecture for scalable web services
- JSON is a lightweight container for exchanging data
- AtomPub, while RESTful, requires XML documents with strict metadata requirements
The goal of the RESTful JSON project is to develop a series of conventions for:
- URLs
- HTTP methods
- HTTP headers
- JSON fields
that:
- is maximally compatible with existing (RESTful, generic) clients
- enables partial updates
- allows paging and/or partial returns of large datasets
- standardizes linking to related resources
- use of hypermedia (links + context) to manage application state
- does NOT become a full-fledged RPC solution
Resources
- Original proposal
- Google Group
- [AtomPub] (for comparison/inspiration)
Proposals
Implementations
- CouchDB
- Jester (same URLs as ActiveResource)
- Dojo REST store
- DOM Resource
- Persevere
- SproutCore
