I don't have specific experience with REST, but I return json using
Python scripts and XML is page templates are supported. So, at least the
basics are possible, if you need more automatic generation from Python
objects I don't see why it would not work but I have no idea if it
exists a library for that in zope2.

Thank you. This is the approach I am using at the moment. 
Also learnt about the XML-RPC support in Zope. Using the xmlrpclib 
module it is also possible to connect and query from clients. 
The only issue I had is with the use of multiple arguments 
. This was discussed previously in this thread
http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/zope.2002/msg19971.html
and with the information there, I am now using arguments with 
default parameters and it seems to be working.
