The REST MVC Web Services API was designed to address limitations with the Legacy REST API. The REST MVC framework leverages existing droplets, form handlers and components, creating an API that can be extended easily. You can build REST services in a modular format by combining model producers. URLs are explicitly defined in a registry, making access to REST URLs secure. Using access controllers defined in your applications, you can restrict who or under what conditions REST URLs can be accessed. All properties that are used in REST calls can be filtered, which reduces the amount of information that must be transferred.
