A Tutorial on Building RESTful Web Services with WCF 3.5

 

• [WebGet], [WebInvoke] to define mappings for the Http Methods Interface
• UriTemplate to map objects to method signatures through WebGet/WebInvoke Attributes
• WebOperationContext to access the HTTP Request/Response including header and status code
• <%@ ServiceHost Factory=”WebServiceHostFactory” to auto-config the Web endpoints binding and behavior without edit web.config.
• aspNetCompatibilityEnabled(web.config) & AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(.cs) to access HttpContext
• (optional) using Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0 to remove the .svc from the URIs.
• RequestFormat/ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Xml/WebMessageFormat.Json through WebGet/WebInvoke Attributes.
• WebScriptServiceHost to auto-generate a Ajax-friendly JSON javascript proxy for web browsers. Append /js to the end of base address to get to the proxy.
• Use SyndicationFeed, SyndicationItem, SyndicationContent to build generic logical feeds.
• Use Atom10FeedFormatter, RSS20FeedFormatterClass to turn a SyndicationFeed object to Atom/RSS specific feed format. Method can use SyndicationFeedFormatter base class to return various formatter object.  
   
• Use ServiceDocument, ServiceDocumentFormatter, AtomPub10ServiceDocumentFormatter, and Workspace to generate AtomPub service document. note: AtomPub as a standard application of the HTTP uniform interface(GET/PUT/POST/DELETE) but applied specifically to Atom feeds, which are modeled as collections of entries.
