resttools

resttoolsresttools builds on top of restish and attempts to simplify the RESTful publishing of Python objects.

Note: resttools is still very much in an alpha state, and the api and interfaces will very likely change.

Hello World(from /examples/hello.py)

from restish import app
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from resttools.publisher.basics import Publish

data = {
'message' : 'Hello World!',
}

print 'Serving on http://localhost:8000'
make_server('', 8000,
app.RestishApp(Publish(data))
).serve_forever()More examples can be found under /examples.

PhilosophyThe primary goal of resttools is to provide a set of libraries and tools that make the creation of consistent RESTful interfaces to python objects simple.

The preferred machine representation is JSON. Other renderings can be added, and an XML renderer is planned.

HTML, while machine readable, is the preferred representation for human consumption. Extra information is added to this representation to make it easier for humans to discover and use.
