Description

From 0.9.1 onwards the REST API has moved centre stage for Wookie. Currently we implement this on top of raw servlets with our own Controller classes and Helper classes for generating representations.

For future versions we should consider migrating the API to use a JAX-RS implementation, such as Wink, CXF, Restlet or Jersey and replace our Helpers with representation providers such as JAX-B and Jackson.
