## librest-0.7.90p2 – access web services that claim to be RESTful

## Description

    This library has been designed to make it easier to access web services
    that claim to be "RESTful". However a reasonable description is that a
    RESTful service should have urls that represent remote objects which
    methods can then be called on.

    However it should be noted that the majority of services don't actually
    adhere to this strict definition. Instead their RESTful end-point
    usually has an API that is just simpler to use compared to other types
    of APIs they may support (XML-RPC, for instance.). It is this kind of
    API that this library is attempting to support.

    It comprises of two parts: the first aims to make it easier to make
    requests by providing a wrapper around libsoup, the second aids with XML
    parsing by wrapping libxml2.
