RESTful Services with ASP.NET MVC

Although I spend most of my development focus on WCF, I’ve become more and more intrigued by the possibility of using ASP.NET MVC as another framework for building RESTful services – this is especially compelling when using XHTML for your resource representations.

In last month’s issue of MSDN Magazine, I was able to capture these ideas in an article titled RESTful Services with ASP.NET MVC. If you’re working with REST today, I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on the ideas found in this article.

Check it out and let me know what you think, or better yet, connect with me on Twitter.

Aaron,

I completely agree with you, having a XHTML representation is a hughe advantage. Using you favorite web browser to browse the model can't be beaten.

We have created a RESTful API on top of SharePoint. Take a look at it here:

We also support atom/xml and JSON.

Thanks
