Visibility into REST Services

Ok so we've just added REST service visibility into JaxView when deployed as an agentless sniffer. Why is this important?

Many organizations are moving are building REST services especially in high load environments. As we all know SOAP is great and is a standard way for service message communication. This comes with a price tag especially when the payload of the messages increases. For every message a big chunk of the message are the tags associated with SOAP tags. This overhead does create a scalability and network traffic issue for most organizations. That is why in some cases more and more architects are moving to REST. Here is more informantion on JaxView's support for REST services here.
