Have you had a chance to download the latest Alfresco Content Services release (Enterprise or Community) and try out the public REST APIs ?
Alfresco public APIs cover Content, Search, Process & Governance Services. We have API explorers for each set of services.
The incremental new public v1 REST APIs introduce features for managing nodes, people, groups, sites, shared-links (... and much more ...) as well built-in queries and new advanced search api for Solr. This is in addition to existing collaborative features, such as favourites, comments, ratings, tags & activities.
We would really appreciate your early feedback. Please comment here or in the forums. If you would like to suggest improvements or see any issues then please feel free to post a separate question or log an issue in JIRA (if repeatable).
