I think you will have your answer on Mendix world. Rest will become native probably in the next release so you will not have to use the module any longer. For the rest of the details we have to wait for Mendix world next week. I am looking forward to meeting you there in person.
Regards,
Ronald
Mike, Ronald, details on out native REST action (consume) will be shown at our breakout session on Mendix World, on "Mappings" (Wednesday 12.00-12.45; check the Mendix World app because actual time may still change).
