APIs open up our application data and functionality to other clients like mobile applications, JavaScript clients and even potentially other companies. The most prominent way of implementing them is by using the REST architectural style and it is now almost expected for all web developers to know how to build good RESTful APIs. As Grails developers, we have a few options readily available to us to simplify this task.
This talk will cover these options as well as discuss some of the pros and cons with each approach so you can successfully build APIs with Grails in your next project.
