JavaScript REST client Library [closed]

You don't really need a specific client, it's fairly simple with most libraries. For example in jQuery you can just call the generic $.ajax function with the type of request you want to make:

$.ajax({    url: 'http://example.com/',    type: 'PUT',    data: 'ID=1&Name=John&Age=10', // or $('#myform').serializeArray()    success: function() { alert('PUT completed'); }});

You can replace PUT with GET/POST/DELETE or whatever.

While you may wish to use a library, such as the excellent jQuery, you don't have to: all modern browsers support HTTP very well in their JavaScript implementations via the XMLHttpRequest API, which, despite its name, is not limited to XML representations.

Here's an example of making a synchronous HTTP PUT request in JavaScript:

var url = "http://host/path/to/resource";var representationOfDesiredState = "The cheese is old and moldy, where is the bathroom?";var client = new XMLHttpRequest();client.open("PUT", url, false);client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");client.send(representationOfDesiredState);if (client.status == 200)    alert("The request succeeded!\n\nThe response representation was:\n\n" + client.responseText)else    alert("The request did not succeed!\n\nThe response status was: " + client.status + " " + client.statusText + ".");

This example is synchronous because that makes it a little easier, but it's quite easy to make asynchronous requests using this API as well.

There are thousands of pages and articles on the web about learning XmlHttpRequest — they usually use the term AJAX – unfortunately I can't recommend a specific one. You may find this reference handy though.

You can use this jQuery plugin I just made :)https://github.com/jpillora/jquery.rest/

Supports basic CRUD operations, nested resources, basic auth

  var client = new $.RestClient('/api/rest/');  client.add('foo');  client.foo.add('baz');  client.add('bar');  client.foo.create({a:21,b:42});  // POST /api/rest/foo/ (with data a=21 and b=42)  client.foo.read();  // GET /api/rest/foo/  client.foo.read("42");  // GET /api/rest/foo/42/  client.foo.update("42");  // PUT /api/rest/foo/42/  client.foo.delete("42");  // DELETE /api/rest/foo/42/  //RESULTS USE '$.Deferred'  client.foo.read().success(function(foos) {    alert('Hooray ! I have ' + foos.length + 'foos !' );  });
