Rest.li is an open source REST framework for building robust, scalable RESTful
architectures using type-safe bindings and asynchronous, non-blocking IO. Rest.li
fills a niche for applying RESTful principals at scale with an end-to-end developer
workflow for building REST APIs, which promotes clean REST practices, uniform
interface design and consistent data modeling.
