Syncope's REST API has changed from version <<placeholder>> to <<placeholder>>.
This page shall give you an overview of old and new REST API. These changes will only affect REST URLs, content models have not been changed.
Main focus on redesign REST interface was:
- applying RESTful Best Practices
- use HTTP operations instead of URL encoded operation names
- GET does not modify any object (read-only safety operation)
- PUT and DELETE are idempotent operations
- use URL parameters for search and filter restrictions
In the near feature I would also like to replace the current search NodeCond with FIQL searchqueries.
There are some also suggestions regarding remote exceptions propagation.
