Google Cloud Endpoints是否旨在创建RESTful API？

Question

I've been searching lately for tools that can be used for developing a RESTful API in App Engine. I have read a lot about RESTlet and RESTEasy.

I just stumbled upon Google Cloud Endpoints and I can't seem to tell whether it works the same RESTlet and RESTEasy.

Is Google Cloud Endpoints intended for creating RESTful APIs?

Answer 1

Endpoints can be used to create REST APIs, however, that is not the primary intent. The intent is to allow usage of the APIs across multiple platforms for which a communication library is included with Endpoints. Specifically, it allows Android, iOS and JavaScript apps to easily communicate with the same endpoint, probably by taking care of conversion from JSON to Java/Objective-C objects.
