From Ed Summers Atom Publishing Protocol Primer
Atom protocol RFC 4287
REST (Representational State Transfer)
- Application state and functionality are divided into resources
- Resources are uniquely addressability using a universal syntax (ie. URIs)
- All resources share a uniform interface for the transfer of state between client and resources (HTTP)
- Live HTTP Headers
- Firefox plugin for looking at these
- GET
- POST
- PUT - update
- DELETE
Atom + REST = APP (Atom Publishing Protocol)
A Few Particulars

- workspace
- collection (feed)
- resource (entries and media entries)
Service Document
