     31=== Implementation Plan === 
     32 * REST API does not support some of the metadata, such as sub-category of attributes and filters 
     33 * To extract those metadata fields, I need to use SOAP.  However, SOAP has some overhead and not as efficient as REST.

     35==== Solution ==== 
     36 * For building user interface, use SOAP.  Then the client has full-access to the metadata. 
     37 * Send actual Query through REST.  This is faster than SOAP.
