The following page has been changed by Michael Gottesman: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/JSONRest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a question that I get asked a lot. Why JSON? Why not Thrift? Why not Protocol Buffers? The answer I give is simple: The Internet. JSON is native to the web and native to the browser. By using JSON as your message format, you allow for easy interoperability with any/all platforms currently in the marketplace. Thus you maximize your potential user base through familiarity, ease of use, and parser availability for the end user. == What about the Old XML Rest Interface? == It will be deprecated once JSONRest is completely finished. Its current wikipage is here: {}. If you would like to contribute to the construction of JSONRest, please visit HBase Issue XXXX, located at the following url: {} - == Important Usage Notes *IMPORTANT READ THIS* == + == Important General Usage Notes *READ THIS* == Please read this before you go further to the usage section. I envision two sorts of users of JSONRest at the moment: the normal database user, and the timestamp database user. === For Normal Database Users ===
