Development is fun again: Why fiddle with lots o' configuration files if you can just as well express what you want with 3 lines of concise code?

Not another framework: No frameworks logoRESTx is not "yet another framework": It has no heavy APIs, steep learning curves or complex configuration files. RESTx makes things simple; it gets out of your way and lets you get on with it.

Multi language: Write components in the language of your choice. Currently Java and Python APIs are provided, more to follow soon.

Let your users do some work: RESTx saves you time. Your users create their own, specialized data sources without having to bother you.

Easy client applications: RESTx is nice to client applications. It does not only speak HTML, but also JSON. XML to follow soon.

No registry required: RESTx allows real-time discovery of all available components and resources, simply by following links.

Where to go from here? Check out our quick start guide to have you up and running in less than 5 minutes. Also, learn more about components and how to write your own in Java or Python.

Be quicker and more agile: With RESTx you create your own, active data resource whenever you want, just by filling out a simple form in a web browser. No need to wait for IT.

Everyone knows what to do with a URL: Each created resource becomes a simple URL, which is easy to use: Just click on it, email it, share it, use it as building block for mashups, and so on.

Look at data, work with data: The resources' URLs are not just for reading. Instead, many of these resources also let you modify data. A single handle to work with live, real data in a simple, intuitive manner.

Human readable: Learn everything you need to know about available resources and components simply with a web browser.

Let your devs work on the low level, you focus on business: Define data resources in terms that make sense to you and your customers.
