Description:


A pluggable JSON based Rest services.
This answers with a block's return value, which can be configured dynamically.
This is especially useful for ad-hoc and mock Rest services (for example, in expecco).

Also provides a common 'protocolInfo' entry, which allows querying the supported entries.
