Motivation
Existing libraries
- Several libraries are already available for RESTful APIs
- But using one of these libraries may not be the best choice
- Some are to complex to use
- Some contain too many dependencies
- Some are not well documented
- Some are not well tested
- Some are possibly not well maintained
Own library
- It can be created according to own requirements
- It can be kept small and not trying to be as generic as possible
- Bugfixes and improvements can be made directly
- At least you learn how to implement a RESTful API
