Jester: JavaScriptian REST

The nice giant robots have smashed away a JavaScript REST implementation that is inspired by the Rails ActiveResource library.

Jester builds on Prototype and ObjTree, a nice DOM parsing engine for JavaScript.

Take a peak at how it works via the examples (run in Firebug):

Base.model("User")
Base.model("Child", "http://www.thoughtbot.com", "child", "children")
var eric = User.find(1)
//GET http://localhost:3000/users/1.xml
var floyd = User.create({name: "Floyd Wright", email: "tfwright@thoughtbot.com"})
//POST http://localhost:3000/users.xml
var chad = User.build({email: "cpytel@thoughtbot.com", name: "Chad Pytel"})
chad.new_record()
chad.save()
