Simple REST API offers Drupal 8 style REST API for reading, creating, updating and deleting nodes. You can make your systems to support Drupal 8 before actually updating Drupal.

Properties

  • supports HTTP basic authentication
  • uses HAL/JSON as the data format
  • respects node rights by use of node_access()
  • very minimalistic error handling

Authentication and basic request handling is from Services module.
