By the true definition of REST, that's not a pure REST interface. One of the principles of REST is to not use any verbs in your resource name because the HTTP request is the verb.

To make your app truly RESTful, use page/10 instead of loadPage/10. An HTTP GET request should signify "load", HTTP DELETE for "delete", and so forth.

There is some dissonance on whether POST or PUT should be used for insert or update, but the idea is that the HTTP request provides the "verb", not the resource name.

And then, I haven't even touched on mime-types :)

Here's some more info: Wikipedia article on REST

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
