My First Module : A RESTFUL Server module for CMSMS

A REST Server for CMSMS

After having spent many years tinkering with CMSMS I have finally reached a situation where I needed some CMSMS functionality that could not be provided by any existing module. Hence my 'first CMSMS module'. As such I ask that you be gentle with your criticisms!

I have documented my 'development ramblings' & code extracts within my CMSMS Playground http://www.cmsms.dabnis.com notes relating to the REST Server module found at http://www.cmsms.dabnis.com/rest-server.html.

I am hoping that once completed this module will find many uses amongst the CMSMS community:
  1. Back-end HTTP RESTFUL Client Server services
  2. Front-end javascript RESTFUL clients
  3. Simple AJAX implementation to CMSMS functionality & all associated data.
  4. Mobile & Multi-Device web sites
  5. RESTFUL networks of associated sites that share resources / data
To list but a few.

As it is important to me that this module is useful to CMSMS and for the fact that it is my first CMSMS module. I am seeking comment; advice & suggestions for both code structure & proposed module functionality.
As for code structure & format : I am aware that there are CMSMS development code standards that I need to adhere to, this work is ongoing, but comments & corrections welcome.
