MimeProvider

Small framework component for pyramid to serialize/deserializer resources depending on mimetypes.

This project is suitable for data driven REST api’s, it adapts to the standard negotation in HTTPs, or specifically the Accept and Content-Type headers to decide the format and type of incoming and outgoing resources.

Example

see examples/small_application.py

If you boot up the example application, you will see the magic in action.

curl http://localhost:8080/missing -H “Accept: /” -v

or surf to the same address, notice that it serves a minimal html page describing the resource.

curl http://localhost:8080/missing -H “Accept: /” -H “Content-Type: application/somedata+json” –data ‘{“string”: “Oh No”, “integer”: 42, “somelist”: [1, 2, 3, 4]}’

The sole responsibility for this project is to assert that types are negotiated correctly, and are clearly distinguished from formats. In order to build a fully functional API there are still a few steps necessary.

• Schema validation

• Database access (if applicable)

• Data binding (from front-end data types to backend)
