There are some impressive UDFs emerging or being re-written recently surrounding REST services. At the same time, the explosion of useful web services and use-cases to tie them together shows no signs of slowing. I suggest a project to tie together the existing UDFs into a more comprehensive UDF which abstracts the four major functions of working with REST services: Authentication (OAuth1/2, OpenID/Connect, Etc)The HTTP Calls (Flexibility with URL, HTTP Methods, Header, Body)Manipulating the Data (XML and JSON)Local Storage/Caching (A new file-based NoSQL Strategy combined with SQLite)Some of these are pretty tall orders, however the overall notion seems so universally useful with the present technologies, I wanted to suggest it for community feedback to measure support. Full disclosure, I don't have time or skill level to contribute to these UDF's in a meaningful way. I thought maybe I shouldn't even post this for that reason, but I went ahead anyway. The UDFs that I find exciting and think would be good candidates for inclusion are listed below:
