GET    /resource  -> Get a representation of the resource (status 200)
POST   /resource  -> Create a new resource (status 301)
PUT    /resource  -> Update an existing resource (status 200)

That's the whole API.  All of it.  Then you need to learn about the
resources.  It's the same API across applications, languages, whatever.
 Simple and straightforward.  Why do you think developers like it?

I guess you should implement pbus and demonstrate it's faster than dbus
and ubus.  Then people don't have any more reasons to prefer the slower
over the faster.  But now, the faster is ubus.

Not a big deal, but the PSYC protocol doesn't take four lines to
explain.  I think I didn't even read all the wiki pages :)
