if im using restlet as an API, can I access it from client PCs using programming langages other than java ? and do I need language binding ? or how could this be done ? I don’t have experience in this so can you please provide good explanation ?
Thanks in advance
REST architectures are independent from any language. This means that they can be produce and consume by any language / technology and the sent data format can be specified using the Content-Type header. Moreover the possible expected data format for responses can be “configured” using content negociation (headers Accept).
You can even interact with RESTful applications with simple / low level client like RestClient (http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/). The tool allows you specifying hints for the HTTP request.
You can also notice that some works are done at the moment to make available a JavaScript version of Restlet. See the following page for more details: http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/g1/368-restlet.html. A very first version of the Restlet client support is usable within browser and node.js.
Hope it helps you,
