plone.rest-1.0b1-1.lbn25.noarch

plone.rest allows you to use HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. in Plone.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It is a software architectural principle to create loosely coupled web APIs.

plone.rest provides the basic infrastructure that allows us to build RESTful endpoints in Plone.

The reason for separating this infrastructure into a separate package from the ‘main’ full Plone REST API is so you can create alternative endpoints tailored to specific usecases. A number of these specific endpoints are already in active use.

Audience

plone.rest is for experienced web developers who want to build their own HTTP/REST endpoints on top of Plone.

If you want to use a ready-made full RESTful Plone API, you should use plone.restapi. That package uses, and depends upon, this one.

Features

Named services allows to register service endpoints for custom URLs
