Part 1. Getting started

Do you want to blend your web services, websites, and web clients into unified web applications, exposing and consuming RESTful web APIs? The three chapters in part 1 show how this is possible using the open source Restlet Framework and its unique Java API available in six consistent editions for Java SE, Java EE, OSGi, GAE, Android, and GWT!

The Restlet Framework supports the web in all its forms, in a simple and unified way. You can use it to both expose and consume web APIs, including web pages and web services. One benefit is that it supports all core HTTP features, making a radical difference when you stop adapting your applications to the web and instead naturally use its full power.
