[PEPr] Comment on Web Services::Services_Yahoo

Stephan Schmidt (http://pear.php.net/user/schst) has commented on the proposal for Web Services::Services_Yahoo. Comment: Davey: I'd say XML_Serializer in conjunction with HTTP_Request are what you'd call a REST package. BTW: ReST is ReStructured Text, something similar to Wiki markup. REST is the webservice. REST does not force any rules on the XML that is returned, so applying XML_Unserializer is the most generic thing you can do. I do not think that such a packagewould make any sense. Regarding this package: As I mailed Martin in private before he released the source, a friend of mine also implemented a package to deal with the Yahoo API and I would like to see the features merged: * Easy wrapper to make queries (usage of a factory and setting sereval properties can be annoying at times) * $result->fetchNext() is a feature I'd like to see for this package as well.
