Explore Graft REST API for IRIS #50

Open mgallagher01 opened 1 year ago

mgallagher01 commented 1 year ago

As part of the web UI effort, MnDOT has created something called "Graft" which appears to be a JSON REST interface to IRIS.

Information is here: https://github.com/mnit-rtmc/iris/tree/master/graft

There isn't much documentation about the syntax of the API, other than some rules about the grammar of requests.

Graft might be useful for a number of other things besides a web UI. Scripting actions in IRIS and extracting data to populate performance dashboards come to mind.

We should have a good understanding of where Graft is in terms of maturity and what it takes to use it.
