Updates to REST API

[Ben Goertzel]

In a private discussion on a commercial project, Linas noted to me in regard to

http://wiki.opencog.org/w/REST_API

that the REST API can use some updating... to wit:

-- that API is no longer consistent with the changes to attention
values from Misgana's work.

-- That API also doesn't support the new values subsystem, which makes
it less useful/interesting than it otherwise could be.

-- listing the incoming set as part of the atom is going to hurt
efficiency, for larger datasets.

As we are using the REST API for the Atomspace Visualizer and the Mozi
demo, it will be useful to make sure it's updated pretty soon...

thanks

The REST API has two request handlers with regards to the attention system: One fetches the set of atoms having STI values within a certain range and the other one returns all atoms in the attentional focus. Both of these functionalities are not affected by the recent changes I made.

BTW, I had been wondering if a gradual replacement of the current REST API with a guile one could be beneficial, since guile atomspace API is less buggy and well maintained than the python one. There is a nice guile rest api library here  http://web-artanis.com/; It is under the GNU project.

Huh. A rest api for guile. I like that!

I think the current rest API still treats STI as a short integer, and vlti as a boolean flag; but I thought you had moved to floats for all three of these, right?
