It is a thin wrapper over L. =head1 INTERFACE =head2 model() The exported C function returns a REST Model object which provides the standard HTTP 1.1 verbs as methods: post get put delete options head All methods take these parameters: =over 4 =item * url - the REST service being accessed =item * data - The data structure to send (hashref, arrayref). The data will be encoded according to the value of the I attribute =item * args - B hashref with arguments to augment the way the call is handled. It currently provides the 'deserializer' key to change the deserializer if you I that the response's content-type is incorrect, and also the 'preserve_headers' which, if set to true, will keep the headers between calls: my $res = model('MyData')->post( 'users/123', { foo => 'bar' }, { deserializer => 'application/yaml', preserve_headers => 1 }, ); =back The third parameter, I, is an optional hashref which lets you give extra information to the object.
