Examples of building a REST API server using Zend Framework?

Question

I'm new to Zend Framework (not to PHP), and I need to create a REST based API using Zend.

I've seen examples using Zend_Rest_Server, however other sources state that that has been deprecated.

I'm unable to find a solid example which shows how I should be building such an API.

Zend_Rest_Server is indeed deprecated since ZF 1.9, you should use Zend_Rest_Controller instead. The following blog posts could be helpful : Building RESTful Services with Zend Framework and Create RESTful Applications Using The Zend Framework.

If you want something a little more in details, you can check the book

The book explains construction of API oriented system in ZF2, through examples.

At the end of book you get:

The book has a lot of syntax errors as well as any book for programming, but it's only one on the market at this moment.
