API

In this section, we show how we generate REST API based on schema.

"$plural", "$singular", "$prefix" and "$id" are read directly from schema, "$namespace_prefix" is computed using namespace information and might be empty if schema has no namespace specified.

Note: An extension computes actual access URL for each resource and substitutes prefix property with it during schema listing calls. User can list resources using this URL and access a single instance of resource by prepending "/$id" suffix.

List

List REST API

List supports pagination by optional GET query parameters sort_key and sort_order.

Query Parameter Style Type Default Description
sort_key query xsd:string id Sort key for results
sort_order query xsd:string asc Sort order - allowed values are asc or desc
limit query xsd:int 0 Specifies maximum number of results. Unlimited for non-positive values
offset query xsd:int 0 Specifies number of results to be skipped
<parent>_id query xsd:string N/A When resources which have a parent are listed, <parent>_id can be specified to show only parent's children.
<property_id> query xsd:string N/A filter result by property (exact match). You can use multiple filters.

When specified query parameters are invalid, server will return HTTP Status Code 400 (Bad Request) with error message explaining the problem.

To make navigation easier, each List response contains additional header X-Total-Count indicating number of all elements without applying limit or offset.

Example: GET http://$GOHAN/[$namespace_prefix/]$prefix/$plural?sort_key=name&limit=2

Response will be

HTTP Status Code: 200

{
  "$plural": [
     {
       "attr1": XX,
       "attr2": XX
     }
  ]
}

Child resources access

Child resources can be accessed in two ways:

Full path

In order to access a child resource in that way, we need to know all it parents.

e.g. POST http://$GOHAN/[$namespace_prefix/]$prefix/[$ancestor_plural/$ancestor_id/]$plural

Short path

If we don't know resource full path, it can be accessed with $parent_id.

e.g. POST http://$GOHAN/[$namespace_prefix/]$prefix/$plural?$parent_id=<parent_id>

GET

  }
}
