How, in general, can web framework support REST style?
- by juro
I would like to know, what are the ways a web framework may be suitable for designing a RESTful app, in general.
One goal is for example to provide http request routing, so they are automatically sent to appropriate controllers. From architectural point of view, web framework based on MVC pattern are more suitable for REST.
What other features of web frameworks are helpful by building apps satisfying the REST constraints?
Is there any reason why you consider certain languages(python/java) or web frameworks(django/turbogears/jersey/restlets/...) as the most applicable ones?
