Introducing WebApiProxy: Providing JavaScript & C# proxies with Intellisense including documentation for ASP.NET Web API

WebApiProxy extends your ASP.NET Web API service with a proxy endpoint, providing a ready-to-use JavaScript client as well as metadata, exposing the types used in the service. If you are using the documentation provider from ASP.NET Web API Help Pages, the usage documentation is also included inside the metadata, giving the client-side developer a rich experience with Intellisense.

This release has been updated and includes much more great features. Read more on the update here.

How RESTful is your service?

Web services are everywhere these days, from social media platforms to enterprise line-of-business solutions. It is extremely important to be able to expose APIs for your solution, in order to reach more external consumers on multiple platforms. As a modern trend, we see that more and more APIs are surfacing claiming to be RESTful, but in fact, they're actually just good old remote procedure calls (RPC).

Many of these proclaimed "REST"-style services are implemented not even knowing what the term means, so I've decided to help try explain REST and how to get your services RESTful.
