This project is part of the [[Google Summer of Code 2009]]
+
 
+
==Abstract==
+
Many service providers using a REST based API to offer developers access to their services, i.e. [http://apiwiki.twitter.com/ Twitter], [http://developers.facebook.com/?ref=pf Facebook] and so on. The result of this is that some third parties provide Java based libraries, which covers this API's. The [[Eclipse_Communication_Framework_Project|ECF]] team played a little bit with the Twitter API and use therefore a library called [http://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/index.html Twitter4J]. <br>The disadvantage of this technique is a dependency to the third parties library. This means an ECF container based on such a library is dependent on the diversity of this.
+
To decouple these dependencies an own ECF based REST abstraction should be created within this [http://socghop.appspot.com/ GSoC] project.
+
 
+
==Primary goals==
+
* A full working API for the REST client side to communicate to any RESTful web service.
+
 
+
== Additional goals ==
+
* Upgrading the Twitter Provider to use this REST API
