How to use RESTx

These pages show examples of how RESTx is used.

Case studies

Resource creation. Learn how a large organization significantly improved their agility by offloading IT and allowing knowledge workers to leverage their domain expertise to create live, dynamic data sources for the entire organization.

Data integration / mashup. Find out a classic data integration task (combined data from a cloud-based SaaS offering with in-house database records) was made easy by RESTx.

Turning custom scripts into reusable components. See how one organization used RESTx to reduce IT maintenance burden and improve data availability by converting their many disjoint custom scripts and programs to RESTx components, where they formed the basis for useful data resources and are now accessible via simple URIs.

Examples

A simple data integration example shows how data integration with RESTx is easily and intuitively expressed with familiar programming language constructs, rather an complicated configuration files or inflexible UI editors. The example demonstrates how easy it is to retrieve data from existing resources, combine them and then output the result.

The example of accelerating front end development shows how RESTx's user generated RESTful resources can improve agility and speed in your organization by allowing your users (in this case front end JavaScript developers) to create their own RESTful resources.
