I think the hardest part (for me) working with web services is translating their online documentation into what I actually need to do (with the tools that I have).

I think that is the case for a lot of us. It is one of the reasons I
think it is worth exploring the open source PASE options. Node.js in
particular but also Python are closer to "speaking the same language"
as what you're likely to encounter in the documentation. They also
provide higher-level libraries for talking with Web services than
HTTPAPI. Finally, you don't generally have to worry about EBCDIC when
you're working in PASE.

I realize there are reasons people would want or even need to stick to
RPG. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from using RPG. But for folks who
can and would like to explore other options, it's now easier than ever
with the RPM-based offerings.
