So far we've had a few cozy examples with Ajax and RESTful Web services but we have yet to record data in our database using a service. How about trying that now?

Recording to the database using Web services is not much different from what we have done in the previous chapter. We'll receive data from an Ajax request, we will check which HTTP method was used in order to decide what to do, then we'll validate the sent data and save everything if no error was found. In Chapter 4, Please Fill in This Form, Madam, we talked about CSRF protection and its importance. We'll keep validating our data against CSRF with our Web service.
