Auto-mapping of REST-APIs to GUI

[AndyObtiva]

This request came originally from this Glimmer issue by @rubyFeedback :

PS: A bit off-topic, but I wanted if there is a glimmer support
for a RESTful API, e. g. to use a REST-API like in rails or
sinatra but have this be mapped 1:1 onto a widget automagically
if possible. Not sure how this could look, but it would be nice to
have this available in a standalone widget too, without needing
to start sinatra and then use a browser, for instance. Kind of like
making this all doable within a widget.

In my response to him I analyzed his request as:

...if I pull data with a REST API that gives me a collection of Person models, which have first_name, last_name, email, address, date of birth, and salary for example, then you want the GUI to automatically display this data, selecting the right widget per Person model attribute depending on attribute type.

Glimmerify EVERYTHING!

(By the way, also a bit off-topic, but 2022 is slowly coming to an end, a new xmas release will
come about at xmas day for ruby usually. If you feel motivated and have time, perhaps you may
want to consider making a "wrap-up" blog entry or something like that before 2022 is over, but
again, please ignore if time or motivation does not permit this. Like, mentioning a few key
points from the glimmer point of view in 2022 and perhaps compared to 2021, and/or as
future outlook. For instance, whether you plan to continue with the video format; you are
slowly reaching 100 videos! :D Not that this is a criticism by the way, different people have
different preferences. Personally I prefer text entries such as in your usual blog, simply because
I can focus on it without getting too distracted. I found that I have adopted a fairly short
attention span when it comes to videos in general. But anyway, this is more a "wrap up for
2022", from the point of glimmer, and the future e. g. 2023. Would be kind of interesting to
see if glimmer can work on the natalie language implementation eventually, just for fun)
