Hi, The main advantage of REST is the easier addressing, leaves out a lot of SOAP ws-addressing stuff :-) Resource specification becomes also more easier. It is a good alternative to good old Web Services. Cheers, -Thijs On Wed, 2008-11-05 at 17:31 +0100, Wolfgang Reichert wrote:
Hi, has anybody experience with REST (Representational State Transfer) as communication protocol? An explanation can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer
It looks like it is used as simpler alternative to WebServices. It allows XML over HTTP(S).
