> Because it is not a well defined protocol, you cannot use the same client library to access random REST APIs. You misunderstand what REST is. It's not a protocol, it's an architectural style. Of course you can't build one client library to access arbitrary REST APIs – that's like complaining that you can't build an object-oriented library that can be used by any object-oriented language. REST does, in fact, have a precise definition that is possible to understand and agree on.
