So, I can use the aRest library to program to the ESP8266 standalone, but if I have the ESP8266 connected to the Arduino Uno, can I still use the aRest library? Or will this no longer work? I am trying to send a request to the Arduino unit that will toggle a pin to turn on/off via the aRest library. Thanks!

aRest can be found here: https://github.com/marcoschwartz/aREST

Please edit your question. It currently needs more detail on what you are trying to achieve and is too broad and unclear what you are asking. – sa_leinad Nov 9 '16 at 5:03

Why don't you just try it? :)

In overview of GitHub repo, first sentence, it says: "A simple library that implements a REST API for Arduino & the ESP8266 WiFi chip." Next paragraph confirms it.

It is for the chip itself, not when the chip is connected to the Arduino unit. The chip can be a standalone microcontroller – holtc Nov 4 '16 at 17:31

If it works on Arduino unit itself, it can be made to work with ESP8266 for sure, right? Maybe just there it no ready code, you need to edit a bit. – davaradijator Nov 4 '16 at 17:38
    
It doesn't work on the Arduino itself, it works with a wifi chip like the CC3000 connected to the Arduino, or the ESP8266 standalone. Haven't seen anything that has it using an ESP8266 connected to an Arduino – holtc Nov 4 '16 at 19:36
