Hi all,<br><br>GSoC is almost over. And this is going to be my last GSoC report for the project "Rest API for Mapbender". I could complete two Mapbender resources - "Users" and "Groups".<br>In this report, I am going to detail about all the methods exposed.<br>
<br>Users - <br><br>URI - rest/users.php/xml or rest/users.php/json<br>Input Parameters - none<br>Method - GET<br>Result - List of all user IDs and their Names and Email.<br>Result format - xml/json depending on the URI<br>
Authorization - No authorization yet. Can be added later<br><br>User -<br><br>URI - rest/user.php/id/json rest/user.php/id/xml<br>Input Parameters - none<br>Method - GET<br>Result - List all (except password and login count) properties of the user with user id - "id".<br>
Result Format - xml/json depending on the URI<br><br><br>URI - rest/user.php/id/json rest/user.php/id<br>Input Parameters - All the parameters of the user table except id and login count.<br>Method: PUT<br>Result: Modifies the user id with input parameters<br>

I propose to continue working on this long term REST api for Mapbender project. I would love to work on other resources of Mapbender later this year, if given a chance. I would also like to maintain the current REST Api code.<br>
