[mapguide-users] mapguide-rest feedback

[Jackie Ng]

The benefit of mapguide-rest over the official MapGuide API is that the REST
API has a much simplified programming model and greater flexibility over the
official MapGuide API. 

You have to know .net, PHP or Java to use the official MapGuide API.

With the REST API, you only need to know how to make HTTP requests and
process HTTP responses. Nearly every programming language out there has some
kind of library to do this.

There's an editable properties sample application that comes with
mapguide-rest that demonstrates how you can query and edit spatial data just
by using AJAX requests to the REST API. If you look at the code behind that
example, it's all HTML/JavaScript. No trace of any .net, PHP or Java code
whatsoever.
