One example I know of is OData[1]. The URI structure is standardized, all query operators are standardized, and the media type is JSON based on Atom. They also have one of the nicest batch request support I've seen (using multipart/mixed content type).

Needless to say, OData is a standard pushed by Microsoft, so the ecosystem for libraries is is mostly .NET, although they provide a JavaScript library as well (datajs).
