Rest.li is an open source REST framework for building robust, scalable RESTful architectures using type-safe bindings and asynchronous, non-blocking IO. Rest.li fills a niche for applying RESTful principles at scale with an end-to-end developer workflow for buildings REST APIs that promote clean REST practices, uniform interface design, and consistent data modeling.
