New WebCenter REST samples have popped onto the OTN WebCenter Samples page.
It’s interesting to see the samples now show jQuery integration; although I dont fully support the author with bringing back and parsing XML from the REST service. XML for me is a bit too bloated and not as intuitive as parsing JSON structured data from the REST API.
If your good at your javascript I’d recommend taking a sneak peak around Rich Manalang git-hub lots of useful javascript WebCenter samples/snippets can be seen here.
And finally if you are interested in delving deep into the REST API, there is a great Google Chrome utility “Rest Console” that lets you view and explore the REST hierarchy data.
