Nor is Javascript's failure with XML any problem with REST. And Javascript and XML both have nothing to do with REST either. That Fielding had made himself available online, wrote articles outside of his dissertation, pointed to examples of proper REST usage, and people seemed to not have issues understanding his writing and implementation of HTTP, seems to show that there shouldn't be many issues understanding and properly implementing REST. | |
