RIAPI (RESTful Image API) – github.com/riapi/riapi

• Images can be manipulated server side and are requested using querystring variables,e.g. /images/myimage.jpg?width=200

• ImageResizer and ImageProcessor.Web both compliant• While not exactly the same, ImageGen is very similar (and clearly way ahead of its

time), it requires the media file as a variable also, e.g. /ImageGen.ashx?image=myimage.jpg&width=200

• All three can be easily used in combination with a JS library such as Slimmage to implement adaptive & responsive front end imaging. github.com/imazen/slimmage
