roax 1.3.1

Lightweight framework for building resource-oriented applications.

Roax

Ro·ax /ˈɹoʊ.æks/
A lightweight Python resource-oriented framework.

Introduction

Roax is a lightweight framework for building resource-oriented applications in Python. By composing your application as a set of resources that expose operations through a uniform interface, they can be automatically exposed through a REST and/or command line interface.

Features

• Resource operations accessed through WSGI based REST API.
• Command-line interface to resource operations.
• Generates OpenAPI interface description, compatible with Swagger UI.
• Schema enforcement of resource operation parameters and return values.
• Authorization to resource operations enforced through imperative security policies.

Quick start

Installation

pip install roax

Hello world

Here is a minimal application that responds with "Hello world!" when the client accesses http://localhost:8000/hello.

import roax.schema as schema

from roax.resource import Resource, operation
from roax.wsgi import App
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

class HelloResource(Resource):

    @operation(returns=schema.str(), security=[])
    def read(self):
        return "Hello world!"

app = App("/", "Hello", "1.0")
app.register_resource("/hello", HelloResource())

if __name__== "__main__":
    make_server("", 8000, app).serve_forever()
