Conclusion
You should now have the ezxrestapidemo extension ready, exposing your custom REST api to any REST-enabled channel. This tutorial showed the principle of extending the eZ Publish REST framework. Given the “preview” nature of this framework, some changes might occur in the future on the way REST extensions are done, stay tuned for all details. However, the foundations are now laid, let us build off of them together. You can now already start using it for leveraging the multi-channel approach. A few links in the Resources part to get you started building mobile apps.
Please share your feedback, impressions, ideas as comments under this post, that is how we move on together!
