In one, you are essentially doing RPC: here's the input, do the operation and give me an output. In the other, you are remotely manipulating "documents". Even a command to act consists of emplacing a "request" and being redirected to a "response". You navigate between "documents" by following URLs in links.

To be honest, I like REST for CRUD of things that are natural resources, but I think it's wasted extra work for operations that are natural RPCs.

Ah thanks. Just plain JSON RPC sounds simplest to me.
