REST and AJAX are two of the hottest buzzwords in the Web. While one describes an high-level architectural style of creating highly scalable Web applications, the other is used to create innovative and highly-interactive client-side Web applications. With the open source Apache Sling Framework and its integrated µjax (microjax) library, client side AJAX developers can tap into the power of REST-based architectures powered by enterprise-grade content repositories such as Apache Jackrabbit or Day CRX. Accessing Java Content Repositories via AJAX allows developers accessing all of their organization's content using one simple, lightweight API that nicely weaves into their interactive Web application. This talk introduces REST, JCR and Sling and shows how to use its power using the µsling library.
