As Wim indicated, discovery is typically used to communicate the base URL
(known as endpoint in OSGi spec), from the registered host service and
consumers.  This discovery can be via some network protocol (zookeeper,
zeroconf, dnssd, slp), or it can be via the 'file-based discovery' that is
part of the OSGi specification.  This is known as the endpoint description
extender format (edef)

FWIW, Restlet supports JSON as well as JAX-RS.
