I'm not sure how PHP integration would work and I don't know if it there is a leading REST-y PHP library. The Java-only integration will be fairly straightforward, however if PHP, Python, Ruby or any other language runtime that wants to support the REST protocols would have to go to the projects available in their space. By the way, there are also other Java frameworks to do APIs, like restlet and jersey. (I haven't looked at their licensing issues). We just picked Abdera because it was the most mature at the time we were looking (last fall). davep http://www.restlet.org/ https://jersey.dev.java.net/ > > Thanks. > > - Cassie > > > On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 3:12 PM, David Primmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > A group of us at Google have decided to try to implement the RESTful > > Data API portion of the Shindig reference implementation with the Atom > > framework Abdera.
