That said, there is no such thing as an addressing scheme or predefined URIs in ReST. If you doucment what APIs to document with, that's a ReST smell. :) http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment10http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment10Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:48:24 GMTProbably just same order response of the ids. http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment9http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment9Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:46:27 GMTAddressing schemes to consider: JsonQuery: [ [www.sitepen.com/.../jsonquery-data-querying-bey...](http://www.sitepen.com/blog/2008/07/16/jsonquery-data-querying-beyond-jsonpath/) ] Astoria: [ [msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668766.aspx](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668766.aspx) ] Google APIs (all of them more or less revolving around the same format): [ [code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI](http://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI) ] Implementations of document dbs: - SimpleDB - NSimpleDB - CoachDB - Persevere Miscelanea :-) - spot a mistake regarding Astoria in Dare's article: [ [www.25hoursaday.com/.../...InARESTfulProtocol.aspx](http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2007/07/13/GoogleBaseDataAPIVsAstoriaTwoApproachesToSQLlikeQueriesInARESTfulProtocol.aspx) ] - yours truly is dreaming about exposing NH repository via universal web service: [ [n2.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=28810](http://n2.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=28810) ] http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment8http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment8Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:39:28 GMTAyende, I'm sure you have read it: [roy.gbiv.com/.../rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-dr...](http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-driven) I know, so much semantic buzz is around rest it makes people unrest, but I think the main concept (i.e. browsable API with single entry point) of representational state transfer missies many. http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment7http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment7Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:58:01 GMTBunter, documents are resources uniquely addressable by their id There are cachable, stateless and layered http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment6http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment6Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:38:01 GMTHmm, where is the representational state transfer in that api ? :) http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment5http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment5Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:52:24 GMTConfigurator, Yes, delete should work http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment4http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment4Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:51:52 GMTHow about delete? Would you use an HTTP DELETE or a POST to a delete url? http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment3http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment3Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:34:10 GMTJosh, Probably just same order response of the ids. http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment2http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment2Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:39:02 GMTI see.. some REST like API. Do you care if you get the correlated ID back from a POST to /bulk_docs? If so, then do you assume a reply in the same order, or allows the client to specify the ID, or return the whole post content with ID's added? http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment1http://ayende.com/3911/designing-a-document-database-remote-api-public-api#comment1Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:10:21 GMT
