Doctrine API Driver

The purpose of this project is to create a Doctrine driver capable of retrieving entities via an API.

What sounds logical and straight forward at first, faces a lot of technical questions:

• APIs aren't uniform, like SQL, and every provider has his own structure and terms
• how do you translate SELECT statements into API calls, especially WHERE ... OR, ORDER BY and probably others?
• how do you support different authentication methods?
• how do you support different data formats, like JSON or XML?

This project will be a place for me to experiment and work on this topic step by step.

It may be abandoned if I notice, that it is not feasible, possible or logical to do so.

I will moderate the whole process via issues and discussions.
