Web Services in Drupal 7

Rob Loach — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:34:39 +0000

Just a quick note that nedjo posted a note about Services module going into core. This would allow use of XML-RPC, JSON, RSS, REST, SOAP and more to be loaded through a common Services API.

A Code Sprint will take place in Boston this coming Friday that will focus on the inclusion of this new Services API.

Things to consider with Drupal 7:

Data API: A common interface for providing a way of communication with external services will require a common method of representing data. The Data API will help this.
Registry: The Registry might allow us to specify how much of the Drupal bootstrap we need when creating/using services.
PHP 5: Drupal 7 will target PHP 5, so this means we can take advantage of the libraries that gives us SOAP, SimpleXML, and many others

Again, the URL for the issue is: http://drupal.org/node/145551

Trying OpenSocial once more.

There was a previous attempt at integrating OpenSocial into Drupal. My hope is this one will be more successful.

As it stands now the RESTful API aren't ready for but there's plenty of documentation to get an early start. I am planning on jump starting the server-based part of this project by evaluating the existing REST API.
