Comment on Your REST API should come with a client

Comments

Your docs should be curl examples showing how to use the Rest API. If you are providing a client library in multiple libraries, not only are you doing it wrong, but you've also missed the entire point of building a Rest API in the first place.

Your consumers should know how to handle HTTP requests from within their language. If they don't, then no Client for your API will save them.
