Provides a clean set of API calls for working with taxonomy. Most of the core code has been taken from the taxonomy module, and turned into some smaller, more modular functions for use by other modules. Taxonomy REST provides some simple url based tools for adding and removing terms from nodes.
Taxonomy API
Taxonomy module does not really open up much of it's functionality to other modules. This means that, if your module needs to add or remove tags programmatically, then you have to end up duplicating a lot of the core taxonomy code. This module is an attempt to take a step to a clean interface to taxonomy functions. No actual end user functionality is added through this module.
Taxonomy REST
REST interfaces use URLs to interact with data. This module creates a set of URLs that will allow users with update privileges on a node to add and remove taxonomy terms using links rather than forms.
eg:
Add term 987 to node 123 : http://example.com/services/taxonomy/node/set/123/987
Remove term 987 from node 123 : http://example.com/services/taxonomy/node/delete/123/987
