i am creating my first wcf service with webHttpBinding. On the net, i have read lot of articled telling that its bad practice to use out parameters with web services as described in

Is it bad practice to have an output parameter in a method in a WCF service?

what i have come to believe is that out parameters are impossible to work with in REST (webHttpBinding). Can anyone confirm or deny this?

    it’s a bad practice to use out parameters at all in code. It makes code less readable and more error prone.
    You should always think about creating a returning object if you need more than 1 parameter back from a method. (in c# 4 you also can choose to return a tuple).
