My proposed solution fits my problem.

Is there a JAX-RS type framework for .NET WCF services? WCF allows for &quot;rest style&quot; services but evidently lacks an easy way to build URL's to return to the client. I am looking to avoid hand-crafting a response to the client. Normally, I see WCF methods returning data contracts which makes the API message based and not RESTful. Thanks!

JAX-RS type framework for .NET WCF services?

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
