The output of X3ML is generally RDF, right?

If the data are exposed via a SPARQL endpoint, then that will provide a
REST-*ish* API.

GET /sparql/?query=*<sparql query>* HTTP/1.1
Host: *<hostname>*
Accept: application/sparql-results+json


You can also use POST for longer queries (hence the "-ish")

see:

SPARQL 1.1 Protocol Recommendation:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/

SPARQL 1.1 JSON Results Format:
