REST On Rails

November 3rd, 2005  |  Published in rails, rest, xml

XML.com have just published an article I wrote for them last month entitled REST On Rails.


It outlines one approach that I’ve been developing for the API in the BBC programme catalogue. One of the things I like a great deal about Rails is its URL routing and dispatch mechanism. Creating mappings from URLs to model instances makes a resource-oriented style feel very natural, which sits very well with REST.

Isn’t this a wonderfully literal interpretation of the article’s title?
