Formalization of a Web API architecture style, inspired from REST

The "Web API" architecture style

Published W3C-style HTML document.

Source HTML code in GH-Pages branch.

Formalization based on this blog post and comments, especially based on the following discussion on the REST-Discuss list.

As a guideline, we will rely on Roy T. Fielding's dissertation, not only chapter 5.

We will also rely on this book on software architecture from Richard N. Taylor (Roy's professor when REST was formalized) and al.
