4.6.3. RESTful API REST approaches to messaging are showing a lot interest recently. It seems plausible that API standards for cloud computing may converge on a REST style set of interfaces and consequently a REST messaging approach is a very strong contender for becoming the defacto method for messaging interoperability. With a REST approach messaging resources are manipulated as resources defined by a URI and typically using a simple set of operations on those resources, e.g. PUT, POST, GET etc. REST approaches to messaging often use HTTP as their underlying protocol. The advantage of a REST approach with HTTP is in its simplicity and the fact the internet is already tuned to deal with HTTP optimally. HornetQ will shortly be implementing RESTful approach to messaging interoperability.
