=================
RESTful resources
=================
RESTful resource are defined by using & as a prefix.
The resources can be used to load data into data sections.
In the following example the resource named 'db' is configured with a wikipedia api hostname. The ZML implementation loads the JSON data from the path
/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=json&srsearch=rest.
The JSON will be converted and is accessible by using the 'pages' context variable.
::
%import components
%inherit base
@db: 'en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=json&srsearch=rest'
#pages: @db
*content:
%for p in pages.query.search:
p: '{p.title}'
The rendered result:
::
zml

Representational state transfer
ReStructuredText

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
