Drupal has already been shown to be a powerful CMS that is expandable in many ways, but can you use it solely as a backend API to power your web frameworks or iPhone/Android applications? Of course! Can I create an API with my already-made site to power an app or other framework? Of course!

This session will go into the many ways you can turn your Drupal installation into a fully-functional REST server, either with pre-existing module work (such as the services module) or how to create one of your own for simple feed work. You’ll see how to “bypass” the theme layer and to provide quick and efficient calls to the database, providing just the information needed.
