Hello,
I know about the salesforce api module providing a framework to connect to salesforce using the SOAP web service. Has anyone started to take a look at the REST API?
Salesforce API
http://drupal.org/project/salesforce
The upcoming Force.com REST API is a new and powerful integration API. An alternative approach to the SOAP-based Force.com Web Services API, REST uses simple HTTP and JSON as a possible output format, to make integrating with Force.com fast and easy.
There isn't an area on developer force, but here is the main section where I think the documentation will appear.

absolutely
I think it makes sense to move the current implementation entirely to REST and get rid of SOAP altogether.
If it implements the same set or a super set of the SOAP API, then there's no reason not to make the switch.
