    <p>REST is an architectural style for constructing web services. Roy Fielding articulated it based on his experience in designing HTTP, but it transcends HTTP. You can deploy a RESTful service over ordinary email exchange for instance.</p> <p>The REST representations of your resources can be anything you like, though Roy really stresses that people should try to use very carefully designed, standard representations. There's nothing wrong with binary. In fact image representations like JPEG and PNG are binary. Google's <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Protocol Buffers</a> gives you ways of creating compact binary representations of structured data too. </p> <p>So the short answer is that you can certainly be RESTful and use binary representations and a home-grown binary substitute for HTTP.</p> <p>I would actually very strongly recommend you use HTTP for efficiency, though. If you use your own protocol then you lose all the leverage provided by the wonderful HTTP caching infrastructure that stands between your server and its clients. The full client load falls right on your server instead of getting spread out over the intermediate caches.</p> <p>10/4/2010: In our HTTP-based REST APIs we now support Java Serialized Object and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/kryo/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kryo</a> binary representations in addition to XML, JSON, and XHTML. The Kryo serialization library performs significantly better than the others without requiring any special protocol. Another alternative to cut down on bandwidth is to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HTTP compression</a> along with a textual representation.</p>

    1. POIs it a good thing for a custom rest protocol to be binary based instead of text based like Http?

    1. COThanks for your toughts. Services hosted by my SOA framework will be responsible mostly for performing operation and not for returning static content. So they would not benifit a caching infrastructure. I think I'll stick with binary to gain performance.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
