Sure. I'm not so interested in arguing about the nuances of what REST really is. Even Leonard Richardson gracefully sidesteps the arguments by talking about resource oriented architecture.
The part the interestes me most is documenting the parameters so that web services can better understand how to work with each other, instead of someone like me pouring over the docs and writing mundane glue code to tie Twitter search features into a service.
- detst 15y agoCheck out Google's API Discovery Service[1] and a video from the 2010 I/O Conference[2]. It may not be the best basis for developing a RESTful standard but there's some good stuff there. I especially like how they demonstrate building an API in that video. I'd like to see some open source projects built around this concept (instead we keep seeing similar services that aren't open, often incomplete and unusable).
