Do you want to do client or server side or both ? 

If you have a basic understanding of HTTP, the Zinc HTTP Components framework will help you get started very quickly. The code was written to be easy to understand and flexible to use. I have done both client and server REST interfaces on top of Zn.

There is also a nice Seaside addon framework (see Phillipe's reply). Building on top of Seaside it is both richer and heavier.
