Randall Hauch commented on DNA-309:
-----------------------------------

I just ran across this blog entry (http://www.michaelnygard.com/blog/2009/03/update_sun_cloud_api_not_the_s.html) that praises the Sun Cloud API, is which a RESTful API for creating and managing cloud resources.  The most interesting thing is that it is fully discoverable, since you start by doing a "GET /" with the resulting JSON response telling you what requests are allowed.  (Each pair under a parent is either a name/string pair or a name/resource pair, where the resource is given by a URI fragment that is the resource that applies.)  Subsequent requests result in similar JSON responses.  See http://kenai.com/projects/suncloudapis/pages/HelloCloud for an example interaction.

BTW, JSON is that it is a great match for representing tree structures, and would be a great approach for the representations returned by this RESTful server.  After all, DNA and JCR repository content is really a tree (with property values referring to other nodes making it a graph).
