[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REST API with Libro by Conversight

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Mike,

I can't say for sure what they're doing.  (I asked if they'd open source
it, no dice there).  I showed them some code that was using the JSON output
and talked about the IDL.  I looked at the XML output too, but unless I'm
missing something, it seemed like you still needed to use the IDL to
explain the array positions -- I didn't see a way to generate field names.
Maybe that's just the RPC gateway?
