Yes, in the newest alpha/beta 5.7.x.x

A prototype of MySQL 5.7 is shipping with an optional component called the MySQL HTTP Plugin. This plugin allows direct access to MySQL via a REST over HTTP interface, eliminating the need for a middle-tier server or database specific drivers.

Is there any kind of REST/JSON or similar API for accessing databases built on MySQL?

I’d like to be able to set up a DB and access it via apps through HTTP rather than directly talking to the server through port 3306 (or whatever it is).
