Built on an architecture similar to XMLRPC, this API is easily extendible using plugins. So if you have an extension need a REST API for it, just write a plugin. This is just a pilot release so that people can start giving ideas & start contributing.. We shall be improving the code & the structure over time & also add a lot more methods. The REST API has been made available under the GPL license.
