If you're in control over both the client and server, I'd suggest
avoiding sending the image data over JSON. You're going to seriously
inflate the file size by base64-encoding it, and for what purpose?
You can be REST without using JSON. It would be much more efficient if
you could just issue a PUT at a certain URL to upload the image data.
