Friends,
Oracle REST Data Services 3.0.5 is available for download. The link is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/rest-data-services/downloads/index.html
A recap of what's new in Oracle REST Data Services 3.0.x onwards:
The previous version 2.0.x required Oracle Application Express (APEX) (4.2 onwards) to be installed if you wanted to define and use RESTful Services. However, in the new versions, APEX is no longer required. Oracle REST Data Services will install a specialized schema for itself when you run it the first time.
Oracle Relational Database (RDBMS) tables and views can be exposed as REST API endpoints, if you use SQL Developer (4.1 onwards). So you can insert, delete, update and query table data using REST.
Plus, Oracle NoSQL Database tables can now be exposed as REST API endpoints. You can insert, delete, update and query NoSQL table data using REST.
You can store JSON documents in document collections managed by the database, and retrieve them as need be. The interface to the Oracle Database Document Store is provided by SODA for REST.
