Cornice provides helpers to build & document REST-ish Web Services with Pyramid, with decent default behaviors. It takes care of following the HTTP specification in an automated way where possible.
Code Example: https://github.com/vladimir-dejanovic/grpc-bank-example You heard of "new thing" called gRPC and promises that it will solve all issues for you, …
For much of the first year or two in the life of Web services - and indeed all of their history up to that point - they were about remote procedure calls (RPC); exposing remote APIs across the Internet in order to facilitate machine-to-machine communication and ultimately, business-to-business integration over the Internet. It didn’t take very long however, for Web services proponents to realize that they needed to distance themselves from RPC and its well-deserved reputation as a poor large scale integration architectural style, due to the failure of systems such as CORBA, DCOM, and RMI to see any widespread use on the Internet. So, sometime in 2000/2001, collective wisdom in the space shifted towards a preference for “document oriented” services. Vendors quickly jumped on board with upgraded toolkits, and that was that; documents were the New Big Thing.
The ADO.NET Data Services framework consists of a combination of patterns and libraries that enable the creation and consumption of data services for the web. The goal of the ADO.Net Data Services framework is to facilitate the creation of flexible data services that are naturally integrated with the web, using URIs to point to pieces of data and simple, well-known formats to represent that data, such as JSON and plain XML. This results in the data service being surfaced to the web as a REST-style resource collection that is addressable with URIs and that agents can interact with using the usual HTTP verbs such as GET, POST or DELETE. Many of the Microsoft cloud data services (Windows Azure tables, SQL Data Services, etc.) expose data using the same REST interaction conventions followed by ADO.NET Data Services. This enables using the ADO.NET Data Services client libraries and developer tools when working not only with on premises services created using the ADO.NET Data Services Fra
Eclipse HTTP Client (HTTP4e) is an Eclipse plugin for making HTTP and RESTful calls. Build with user experience in mind, it simplifies the developer/QA job of testing Web Services, REST, JSON and HTTP. It is a useful tool for your daily job of HTTP header tampering and hacking.
The Firewater Framework lets you create sophisticated REST based web APIs for your Java and Flash/Flex based web applications. Features include:
* Spring based declarative architecture (zero code web services)
* extensible framework
* supports GET, PUT, POST, OPTIONS and DELETE HTTP methods and matches incoming URL patterns
* supports JDBC back-ends with templated SQL mappings
* supports secured web services using Acegi Spring Security
* supports paging, full-text search, sorting and filtering
* flexible cacheing strategy based on OSCache
* custom Spring schema for easy configuration
Jersey is the open source (under dual CDDL+GPL license), production quality, JAX-RS (JSR 311) Reference Implementation for building RESTful Web services. But, it is also more than the Reference Implementation. Jersey provides an API so that developers may extend Jersey to suite their needs. The governance policy is the same as the GlassFish project.
Getting started with Jersey is very easy. First, download the latest distribution of Jersey and unzip it. If you are using NetBeans IDE 6.x, you do not need to download the Jersey distribution. Instead, install the RESTful Web Services plugin from the Plu
In this interview, recorded at QCon London, Jim Webber, ThoughtWorks SOA practice leader talks to Stefan Tilkov about Guerilla SOA, Description Language (SSDL).
Here's the deal: you develop your complete Web API in source code. Make sure it's well-documented and that the metadata is correct, but don't worry about deployment descriptors, servlet configuration, packaging, or even interoperability. Then invoke Enunc
