The JsonRestStore is a Dojo Data store that provides a JSON-based RESTful interface to servers and implements the Dojo Data read, write, notification, and identity APIs.
One of the core concepts of a REST architecture is hyperlinking, and this is available in the JsonRestStore through it’s referencing support. This concept enables powerful features like lazy loading and cross-store referencing that greatly improve the effectiveness and usability of the JsonRestStore. All of the features described in this article are available with Dojo Toolkit version 1.2 and later.
