When you say "REST API" do you mean the REST *messaging* API or the REST-like *management* API?
We still have the REST-like management API [1] which you can use to get data from the broker like queue message counts, browse messages, etc. This API is provided via the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge which allows you to access the broker's JMX MBeans via HTTP.
