Test Harness for REST Services

Sunday, August 11, 2013

You don't have to write one to have a GUI client to test your REST API/services layer. You can use Chrome plug-in Advance REST Client here :

If you're having trouble with JSON posts, maybe this can help.

This blog is here because I realized that there is no better way to ensure knowledge assimilation for myself and education to the netizens about the things I discover, invent and learn from anything about computing, especially information technology in the cloud, system administration and anything interesting more than writing. Blogger is free so I don't have to worry about publication.

I would be writing mostly on open-source solutions to real-world IT and computing problems. I would also like to write on topics about simplifying, analyzing and aggregating sparsely distributed information, natural language and human behavior whenever possible. I will start by discussing concepts then theories proceeding on practical application or a proof with the aim to provide a model solution.

I'd also like to note that I do have substantial knowledge and experience with Microsoft products but as a matter of preference, I won't be discussing any of those things as long as I can avoid.

I might jump to other topics depending on my mood.
