Elvis 5 REST API - introduction

The REST API is targeted at building custom Web applications, mobile apps, and HTML interfaces that use or display assets from Elvis. Of course it can also be used for server-side languages such as PHP, .NET and Java / JSP.

It is designed to be easy to use from AJAX and JavaScript. A range of open-source samples is available to get you started, including a JavaScript library.

All the previews provided by Elvis are based on Web standards and can be used in Web browsers or on any Web-enabled mobile device.

Note: The Elvis REST API does not always respect all of the official REST guidelines. When it diverts, it is always in the interest of making the API easier to use from HTML based Web browsers and Flash, Flex and AIR applications.
