REST Service client in Moodle plugin

hi all,

i am currently writing on a Moodle plugin that should read from and write to a REST service. Doing some research, I found a lot about REST and Moodle from a server side perspective but nothing about creating a REST client in Moodle.

So my question is, are there any libs or constraints or is it ok to just integrate an ordinary php rest client in a Moodle module?

Thanks so much!
