# OVERVIEW

qRestAPI is a cross-platform [Qt-based](https://www.qt.io/) library 
allowing to easily query any [RESTful](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) web services. 

It provides the following interfaces:

| Interface    | RESTful API      |
|--------------| -----------------|
| `qRestAPI`   | _any_            |
| `qGirderAPI` | [Girder][girder] |
| `qMidasAPI`  | [Midas][midas]   |
