uripoint 1.9.6

A flexible Python library for endpoint management and URI processing

UriPoint - Universal Network Endpoint Management

UriPoint is a comprehensive Python library designed for unified network endpoint management across multiple protocols. It simplifies the creation, management, and monitoring of network endpoints through a single, cohesive interface.

• Unified Management: Handle multiple protocols through one interface
• Simplified Configuration: Easy setup through CLI or Python API
• Protocol Agnostic: Support for web, streaming, IoT, and messaging protocols
• Production Ready: Built-in monitoring, testing, and persistence

# Serve all endpoints as a live server
uripoint --serve

# Test endpoints
uripoint --test

# Detach specific endpoints
uripoint --detach "http://localhost:9000/api/hello" "http://localhost:9001/metrics"

High Availability Setup

from uripoint import HighAvailability

ha = HighAvailability(
    endpoints=['endpoint1', 'endpoint2'],
    strategy='active-passive',
    failover_timeout=30
)
ha.start()

Endpoint Creation Methods

1. Full URI Approach with HTTP Methods

# Create an endpoint with full URI and specific HTTP methods
uripoint --uri http://localhost:8080/api/users --data '{"response": {"status": "OK"}}' --method GET POST PUT

2. Component-Based Approach

# Create an endpoint using individual components
uripoint --hostname localhost --path /api/status --protocol http --port 8001 --data '{"status": "OK"}' --method GET

UriPoint: A Comprehensive Network Communication Solution

UriPoint provides a comprehensive solution that goes beyond simple protocol handling, offering a complete platform for building, managing, and operating network communications. Its wide-ranging capabilities make it suitable for enterprise applications while maintaining the simplicity needed for smaller projects.

Unique features:

1. Unified interface for multiple protocols
2. Built-in endpoint management
3. Configuration persistence system
4. Integrated testing framework
5. CLI for easy management
6. Streaming protocol support
7. Comprehensive monitoring

Closest to UriPoint functionality are combinations of several libraries, e.g.:

• FastAPI + Mosquitto + aiohttp
• Flask + pika + SocketIO
• Django Channels + RabbitMQ

However, it would still require significant integration work to achieve the level of unification offered by UriPoint.

Comparing Integration Effort:

├─────────────────────┤  ├─────────────────────────┤
│ - Single interface  │  │ - Multiple interfaces   │
│ - Unified config    │  │ - Separate configs      │
│ - Built-in testing  │  │ - Custom testing needed │
│ - One installation  │  │ - Multiple installs     │
└─────────────────────┘  └─────────────────────────┘

Key Advantages of UriPoint:

1. Development Speed

   • Single API to learn
   • Consistent patterns
