A REST Server is now available for the Services module, so that external REST clients can communicate with Drupal Services. In order to use the REST Server, you have to install the Zend Framework.

Is the Zend Framework really necessary?

Zend Framework
The REST Server is using the Zend_Rest_Server class, which is part of the Zend Framework. I've provided installation instructions here, which should be easy to follow. You just put it on your server somewhere, and then tell admin/settings/zend where it is.
... Of course if a patch is submitted that implements it without Zend_Rest_Server, we could have a look at it.
Could you elaborate on what
Could you elaborate on what services the framework provides? I too see the server as not adding much beyond what Drupal natively provides. But I don't fully understand what the REST server has to do so thus my question.
thanks so much
a REST service seemed liking a glaring gap in what was available. I am very grateful for your work here... thanks
