geoserver-rest not covering all the REST API #57

Closed theoway closed 2 years ago

theoway commented 2 years ago

Hi, as you can see, a lot of API has yet to be added to geoserver-rest. I'm working on some for my personal project. I'd like to contribute by adding more APIs (example: To manage security, usergroups, roles, layer security etc.) Could anyone let me know if I should add code grouped by functionality(i.e. code for user groups in one PR, code for roles in other PR etc.)?

Hi @theoway, First of all, thank you for your interest in contributing.

As you said, the best way is to PR code grouped by functionality.

Since user info is returned in XML format, I'm thinking of using this XML to python dict module, so that a python dict with user info can be returned. What do you say?? @iamtekson

I also checked the geoserver-rest core API and found that some of the requests have only the `XML response, not JSON. In that case, I think it is better to use this library. I think you can proceed with this library. I am okay with it.

@iamtekson I think we should close this issue and create a new one that has a tasklist of the remaining Geoserver REST API to be implemented. What do you say? Lemme know and I'll open up a new issue.. :)
