How to expose a RESTful Web Service using Meteor

by

I did a full write-on on this in Meteorpedia:

http://www.meteorpedia.com/read/REST_API

The post reviews all 6 options for creating REST interfaces, from highest level (e.g. smart packages that handle everything for you) to lowest level (e.g. writing your own connectHandler).

Additionally the post covers when using a REST interface is the right or wrong thing to do in Meteor, references Meteor REST testing tools, and explains common pitfalls like CORS security issues.
