RESTful BaseX

Dear all, in the "basex-api" package of our Subversion and Maven repository, you find a preliminary implementation of our soon-to-be-released REST API: http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/maven/org/basex/basex-api/6.0.4/ http://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/api/src/main/java/org/basex/api/jaxrx The runnable test class is: org.basex.api.jaxrx.StartJAXRX You can play around with the following URLs: – Root directory: http://localhost:8984/ – List of databases: http://localhost:8984/basex/jaxrx/db – Perform a factbook query: http://localhost:8984/basex/jaxrx/db/factbook?query=//name Beside the GET operation, PUT, POST, and DELETE are implemented as well. The API is built upon JAX-RX, a new REST interface layer for XML databases: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jax-rx Documentation and more examples will follow soon. As usual, testing and feedback is welcome!
