'''
A base class for ``REST`` based controllers. Inherit from this class
to implement a REST controller.
``RestController`` implements a set of routing functions which override
the default pecan routing with behavior consistent with RESTful routing.
This functionality covers navigation to the requested resource
controllers, and the appropriate handling of both the common (``GET``,
``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``) as well as custom-defined REST action
methods.
For more on developing **RESTful** web applications with Pecan, see
:ref:`rest`.
