Re: How much REST should your web API get?
Hi Adam, Regarding Restlet Framework, its implies a resource-oriented design (resources, URIs, representations) and proper usage of HTTP application-level features (conneg, caching, conditional requests, etc.). However it doesn't force interaction between clients and servers to go through hypermedia even though we help with that via template engines, HTML form parsing and so on. We do already have support for machine-to-machine interactions in the form of annotated Restlet interfaces which do involve a coordinated deployment of clients and servers. So concretely there won't be any fundamental change moving forward but probably more support for machine-to-machine interactions around the Web API style, which people have been looking for anyway for a long time (e.g. how to document / version my API).

RE: How much REST should your web API get?
Jerome, this was a good post and lots to think about. I don't have any feed back right now, as much of the conversation was new material for me, but I tended to agree with what Hansson posted. Are you planing on moving Restlet towards more of the Web API style framework, as opposed to a streamlined REST framework? I got that impression from your blog post that is what you might be thinking. -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3054829
How much REST should your web API get?
Hi all, This is slightly off-topic but here is my new blog post, walking you from hypermedia APIs to cross-device web sites and introducing a formal "Web API" architecture style: http://blog.restlet.com/2013/05/02/how-much-rest-should-your-web-api-get/ Please share your thoughts and help us spread the word, this will help Restlet Framework!
