Hi all, We're exploring options for interacting with MarkLogic without writing XQuery code. We currently do CRUD operations in MarkLogic with our own custom REST endpoints, and this particular flavor proven a little too hands on. We're looking at another, more generic REST interface developed by another team in the organization, and also the new REST interface introduced in ML6.
I haven't gotten a chance to get my hands dirty with the new API, but I've read the developer's guide and the API docs and I'm liking what I'm seeing. In the time between now and my own experiments, can anyone give an example of when the REST API did not meet your needs, or under what circumstances you've needed to extend the interface? Off the top of my head, it seems like an extension would have to be written when a join is required and you don't want to have to make two HTTP requests and aggregate them in the consuming application. Also, I haven't read anything about maintaining node value uniqueness across an entire database other than searching first before doing an insert or update, but this may not be specific to the new REST API. Any insight would be appreciated.
