README

        
At LinkedIn, we are focusing our efforts on advanced automation to enable a seamless, LinkedIn-wide migration from Rest.li to gRPC. gRPC will offer better performance, support for more programming languages, streaming, and a robust open source community. There is no active development at LinkedIn on new features for Rest.li. The repository will also be deprecated soon once we have migrated services to use gRPC. Refer to this blog for more details on why we are moving to gRPC.




  



Rest.li is an open source REST framework for building robust, scalable RESTful

architectures using type-safe bindings and asynchronous, non-blocking IO. Rest.li

fills a niche for applying RESTful principles at scale with an end-to-end developer

workflow for building REST APIs, which promotes clean REST practices, uniform

interface design and consistent data modeling.
