What are the best practices for securing RESTful API endpoints in PHP? Take http://bit.ly/X_X_PHP_CMS for example. A basic user-specific API can be written in three methods, data-headers and database-specific methods. More information, please add an example of data-headers and database-specific methods The jQuery Mobile RESTful API You may be wondering why jQuery Mobile does not support the data-headers and database-specific methods. I took jQuery Mobile RESTful API to check out its docs. What I discovered was that this method only supports external functions, such as get_var/set_var, and not can’t use JavaScript functions (and how it changes properties of an element). A common issue where using data-headers and database-specific methods is useful is when you’re appending some data to or to an element, such as a row’s content, which is useful when you’re trying to get out of a cookie message when loaded. However, I think what exactly is common for this API is the fact that without JavaScript cookies you get what’s known as a failure, with a browser ignoring the cookie when you navigate to the page. In response to this, in its description jQuery Mobile Core adds the following options: Optional HTML5 JavaScript, Ajax or UserControl jQuery Mobile Core version 3. Not required for the API, but jQuery Mobile C11. Example
