| Abstract |
In the last few years at RESTFest I have presented a few short presentations on HAL and a proposal called Zoom. We've used this extensively on client projects to allow the server to assemble multiple requests without the network overhead of doing this from a client (possibly mobile). To assist with sensible cacheing we (Inviqa) have built a proxy that performs this action, however it turns out this is a very useful platform for many other utility functions in the API space and it's evolved into a much more useful tool. I'd like to take this opportunity to present the tool as it is (in its infancy!) and demonstrate how we use it to quickly add value to our own projects. |
