Matthew Weier O’Phinney’s Blog: Exposing Service APIs via Zend Framework

On his blog Matthew Weier O’PHinney has posted interesting note about exposing service APIs in Zend Framework.

The hubbub surrounding “Web 2.0″ is around sharing data. In the early iterations, the focus was on “mashups” — consuming existing public APIs in order to mix and match data in unique ways. Now, more often than not, I’m hearing more about exposing services for others to consume. Zend Framework makes this latter trivially easy via its various server classes.

Matthew show how to run your service. He also explains why the framework’s team recommends bootstrapping services separately from MVC application.
