Spring Data REST is part of the umbrella Spring Data project that makes it easy to expose JPA based repositories as RESTful endpoints.
The goal of the Spring Data REST project is to provide a solid foundation on which to expose CRUD operations to your
JPA Repository-managed entities using plain HTTP REST semantics. The first implementation of this exporter uses Spring
MVC and the standard Servlet architecture to make it easy to deploy a WAR file that becomes a full-blown CRUD
application simply by including your domain classes and their corresponding Repository definitions. Future
implementations will allow you to export your repositories in non-Servlet HTTP environments using high-throughput
non-blocking IO, and will provide enhanced HTML5 capabilities.
