DESCRIPTION
REpresentational State Transfer, better known as REST, is the architectural style that governs the web's request-and-response resource model. The open source Restlet Framework provides a simple, powerful Java-based API to implement RESTful web applications that support and integrate with technologies such as Atom, Jetty, JSON, Spring, GWT, Google App Engine, and Android.
Restlet in Action gets you started with the Restlet Framework and the REST architecture style. You'll create and deploy applications in record time while learning to use popular RESTful Web APIs effectively. This book looks at the many faces of web development on both the server and client side, along with cloud computing, mobile Android devices, and semantic web applications. It offers a particular focus on Google's innovative Google Web Toolkit, Google App Engine, and Android technologies.
The book takes you through a comprehensive presentation of Restlet's main features, including subjects like security, testing and automatic documentation. You'll learn while following the typical Restlet development process, with consistent illustrations based on a sample RESTful email app.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Learn REST and Restlet from the ground up
- Deploy locally, to the cloud, or on mobile devices
- Numerous illustrations
- Reusable code samples
- Written by the creators of Restlet!
The book requires a basic knowledge of Java and the web, but no prior exposure to REST or Restlet is needed. You'll quickly get the big picture behind REST, the overall design of Restlet and RESTful web development.
