Re: [W3af-develop] REST API for w3af

[Bipin U. <mux...@gm...>]

This is good news, Andres!
Is the API list available somewhere for us to see before it's actually
implemented? It's been my personal experience that defining a REST API
properly is vital before getting started with the code. It may provoke a
purist vs non-purist REST debates, but it's mostly works in favor of the
project.
