Jason - Django-like Object Mapper for REST services

Transcript

1. Jason Thin Django-like object mapper for REST services
2. Introduction •  I am Paris •  Founder at sourcelair.com – Lets you code your projects in a browser •  I We love REST services
3. Back story We built SourceLair with Django
4. Back story We love Django
5. Back story We love Django (and APIs)
6. Back story We love Django, APIs and code uniformity
7. Our architecture SourceLair web client SourceLair API SourceLair web API Supportive software (Monitoring service, internal analytics etc.) 3rd party REST services
8. The problem •  We consume multiple REST services – SourceLair API – GitHub API – (more to come) •  Multiple code patterns – While we need similar semantics – (We despise for code style fragmentation)
9. The need Common syntax for accessing all upstream REST services
10. The solution •  Jason – Django-like REST object mapper – Python library – Declarative syntax
11. The solution We decided to start building Jason
12. Jason A thin Django-like object mapper for REST services
13. Examples
14. Setting up a service import jason my_service = jason.Service(host=‘myservice.com’, root=‘api’) class User(my_service.Resource): created = jason.fields.DateTimeField() username = jason.fields.StringField() # Get all users users = User.objects.all() # Parses “GET http://myservice.com/api/users”
15. Querying the SourceLair API from datetime import datetime from sourcelair.api.models import User this_month = datetime(year=2014, month=10) new_users = User.objects.filter(created__gte=this_month) for new_user in new_users: print new_user.username
16. Querying the GitHub API from github.models import GitHubUser parisk = GitHubUser.objects.get(login=‘parisk’) for repo in parisk.Repo.objects.filter(sort=‘created’): print repo.name, repo.url
17. Jason is in Alpha stage •  Do not use in production – Try it at home though ;) •  You are welcome to contribute code – or contribute by filing issues
18. Jason is open source github.com/sourcelair/jason
