Horizon REST API
Horizon has a REST API that allows client side code to make API through the Horizon server without DJANGO server side rendering. This is to support the angular work being done in Horizon. It takes care of issues like cross origin resource scripting as well as leveraging authentication and authorization libraries already in existence.
THE API ARE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF HORIZON DEVELOPMENT AND ARE NOT SUPPORTED FOR EXTERNAL USE AT THIS TIME
