Joe Gregori recently began discussing a protocol for RESTful JSON . Having spent a significant amount of time in this field, and having authored several implementations of RESTful JSON, I thought it me be beneficial to offer some comments on the subject. I am certainly supportive of Joe’s efforts towards RESTful JSON, and believe this could be very valuable for the community. Clearly defining the mechanisms for JSON-based RESTful interchange would surely improve interoperability of services and consumers. However, I think it worthwhile to mention some suggestions for this effort.
