Usage and examples

We provide well-curated documentation with many code examples. These are all clearly commented and give a good overview of the functionality RestFB provides.

Additionally, you can take a look at the integration tests here on GitHub. Some interesting use cases are exercised there and you can get a good idea of the different features that are provided by RestFB.
