Alfresco 3: Web Scripts

[ Thanks to Naheed for this link. ]

"Alfresco Web Scripts provide RESTful APIs of the repository services and functions. Traditionally, ECM systems have been exposing the interfaces using RPC (Remote Procedure Call) – but gradually it turned out that RPC-based APIs are not particularly suitable in the wide Internet arena where multiple environments and technologies reside together and talk seamlessly. In the case of Web Scripts, the RESTful services overcome all these problems and integration with an ECM repository has never been so easy and secure. Alfresco Web Scripts were introduced in 2006 and since then it has been quite popular with the developer and system integrator community for implementing services on top of the Alfresco repository and to amalgamate Alfresco with any other system."
