Hello Yoann,

You do not "need to do so", but I remember your project quite well and I
was one of the people who said you don't actually need PHP. From what I
saw and remember, I think RestXQ is simply a much better fit.

RestXQ enables you to do complete server-side processing (just like PHP
does) using XQuery. You can define all sorts of options for your
functions using annotations and how it should be served to your users.

Theoretically, this would also be possible using Rest. However, the Rest
interface is more intended for short queries and querying on a data set.
You will always have to submit your query and of course this is very
impractical and slow if you develop a whole web app.
But it might be a good idea to add something to the documentation to
make the distinction between rest and RestXQ clearer. So much we could
add to the docs, actually... :)

Cheers,
Dirk
