Hi Kambiz, sorry not to reply sooner.
The framework doesn't currently provide any mechanism to plug-in alternative mechanisms for parsing inbound arguments; the REST API supports only the format defined in the Restful Objects spec [1] However, there's nothing to prevent you from defining your own additional REST resources, by defining and registering [2] your own subclass of RestfulObjectsApplication.
