I should probably change that description, since it only describes what
currently is already possible, not what could be possible, with this
extension.

Can you give some examples what you want to achieve (besides CRUD) which
such kind of webservices?

As I also already wrote in a different thread, the difficult part of
creating a webservice for TYPO3 is making a concept what can/should be
done with a webservice and how the datastructure has to look like when
getting data from and posting data to the webservice. Implementing human
readable URLs for a RESTful interface might be nice, but can easily be
done on top, when having the big an complicated part in place.


At least that is how I see this topic.
