Hi friends,
The issue is this:
I have a web application that runs on a PHP server. I'd like to build a REST api for it.
I did some research and I figured out that REST api uses HTTP methods (GET, POST...) for certain URI's with an authentication key (not necessarily) and the information is presented back as a HTTP response with the info as XML or JSON (I'd rather JSON).
My question is:
1. How do I, as the developer of the app, build those URI's? Do I need to write a PHP code at that URI?
2. How do I build the JSON objects to return as a response?
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks!
