# Catalyst::Request::REST(3pm)

A REST-y subclass of Catalyst::Request

## NAME

Catalyst::Request::REST - A REST-y subclass of Catalyst::Request

## SYNOPSIS

```
     if ( $c->request->accepts('application/json') ) {
         ...
     }
     my $types = $c->request->accepted_content_types();
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of `"Catalyst::Request"` that applies the Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST role to your request class. That trait adds a few methods to the request object to facilitate writing REST-y code.

This class is only here for backwards compatibility with applications already subclassing this class. New code should use Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST directly.

Catalyst::Action::REST and Catalyst::Controller::REST will arrange for the request trait to be applied if needed.

## SEE ALSO
