REST API lego kit powering http://api.npolar.no
Rack-based reusable building blocks for running REST-style APIs over HTTP.
API endpoints are constructed like lego blocks by connecting a minimalist Core instance with a Storage object and assembling other middleware for security, validation, search/indexing, logging, transformation, etc.
Features
- Storage neutral, but currently built around CouchDB
- Lucene-based search via Elasticsearch or Solr
- Authorization
- Edit log
- JSON schema (validation)
- GeoJSON
- API browser, see e.g. http://api.npolar.no/dataset/?q=
- Model hooks
- Self-describing, see. http://api.npolar.no/service/dataset-api
