Tim,
If there are common things that can be abstracted (probably the
current implicits from XmlApiHelper) by a RestHelper then it would
makes sense to do this. But for JsonApiHelper how would this be any
better then current JsonHandler? (just trying to understand the
rationale) ... or it was just an example out of the hat?
Regarding DispatchPf you get a RequestState as a parameter and from it
you can obtain a ParsePath hence you have access to the suffix.
Br's,
Marius
