Yo,

Chef::REST should just work, I guess.. :)

Take a look at these.

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/role.rb#L326
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/role_from_file.rb
https://github.com/danryan/spice/blob/master/lib/spice/role.rb#L16

Have nice day.
