I am on Twitter

Samisa on Twitter. OK, that is my twitter page.

So as indicated on my twitter page, I was looking at the REST classes of Zend Framework. And I wanted to write a sample REST application using this. And I have to spend a considerable amount of time figuring out how to apply the REST principles properly. I have to worry about too many things when designing a REST system. Message content, URI, HTTP verb to be used and media types to be used.

Now who said SOAP is complicated? And who said REST is simple. If REST in not more complicated, it is at least as complicated as SOAP. But given the maturity of SOAP engines and frameworks out there, SOAP would end up to be a much better choice.
