Well, keep in mind that when most people say "REST" what they mean is a web call that sends or receives JSON/XML.
Personally, I've found that there are some things that fit really well into a fully REST-ful design, but sometimes you just want to deal with JSON over http, and that's okay too.
- fpotter 16y agoI think I'm guilty of that. :-) It took me a really long time to figure out what RESTful design meant. As best I can tell, it's CRUD mapped onto the HTTP verbs.
- steverb 16y agoAs long as you don't call it REST, then the purists shouldn't have a problem with it. I'm not a purist myself, I'm more about getting things done, and sometimes a useful API just doesn't map cleanly onto REST.
