The RavenDB HTTP API

RavenDB fully supports an API based on HTTP that basically permits to interact with the database engine with simple HTTP requests. This means that if you have an application or environment that can talk HTTP, you can communicate through the RavenDB HTTP API. This HTTP API follows commonly understood RESTful principles and the interactions are entirely based around the HTTP protocol. When using the HTTP protocol to access RESTful resources, the resource identifier is the URL of the resource and the standard operation to be performed on that resource is one of the HTTP methods such as GET, PUT, DELETE, POST, or HEAD. RavenDB is exposing itself as the RESTful web service. Utilizing a RESTful HTTP API allows an application functionality to be consistently used across different platforms. It's possible to write a fully functioning RavenDB application just using JavaScript, HTML, and the HTTP API.
