This library has been designed to make it easier to access web services
|
|
that claim to be "RESTful". However a reasonable description is that a
|
|
RESTful service should have urls that represent remote objects which
|
|
methods can then be called on.
|
|
|
|
However it should be noted that the majority of services don't actually
|
|
adhere to this strict definition. Instead their RESTful end-point
|
|
usually has an API that is just simpler to use compared to other types
|
|
of APIs they may support (XML-RPC, for instance.). It is this kind of
|
|
API that this library is attempting to support.
|
|
|
|
It comprises of two parts: the first aims to make it easier to make
|
|
requests by providing a wrapper around libsoup, the second aids with
|
|
XML parsing by wrapping libxml2.
