The REST Plugin should expose the limited ability to access the page that the plugin sits on using standard REST HTTP calls for both read and write.
# Why is this useful?
This plugin will allow limited access to read and write json to a wiki page without endangering other pages on the site. This would allow a number of possibilities: * multiple authors can change the contents of the page * software can read and write data to the page * documentation of software written in other languages * content can be written to by transporters
