It isn't REST in my book, though we've called it that.  It is a
websocket API whose current driver is the GUI.

This is in progress now.  Many commands are available in trunk.  I
believe we will have a full complement within the next two weeks.  The
API is very different in spelling from the one in the Python version of
Juju, but hasn't been too hard for the GUI to adapt to.

The API is not documented yet in either case.  Looking at the JS in the
GUI (in app/store/env) is arguably the most direct path to understanding
how to use it.
