a4a9a328 | 99 | = REST vs. SOAP = |
e143e9d8 DM |
100 | |
101 | We decided to change our SOAP API (1.X) and use a REST like API. The | |
102 | concept is described in [1] (Resource Oriented Architecture | |
103 | (ROA)). The main advantage is that we are able to remove a lot of code | |
104 | (the whole SOAP stack) to reduce software complexity. | |
105 | ||
106 | We also moved away from server side content generation. Instead we use | |
107 | the ExtJS Rich Internet Application Framework | |
108 | (http://www.sencha.com). | |
109 | ||
110 | That framework, like any other AJAX toolkit, can talk directly to the | |
111 | REST API using JSON. So we were able to remove the server side | |
112 | template toolkit completely. | |
113 | ||
a4a9a328 | 114 | = JSON and JSON Schema = |
e143e9d8 DM |
115 | |
116 | We use JSON as data format, because it is simple and parse-able by any | |
117 | web browser. | |
118 | ||
119 | Additionally, we use JSON Schema [2] to formally describe our API. So | |
120 | we can automatically generate the whole API Documentation, and we can | |
121 | verify all parameters and return values. | |
122 | ||
60f4e8c7 | 123 | A great side effect was that we are able to use JSON Schema to |
e143e9d8 DM |
124 | produce command line argument parsers automatically. In fact, the REST |
125 | API and the command line tools use the same code. | |
126 | ||
127 | Object linkage is done using the JSON Hyper Schema (links property). | |
128 | ||
129 | A small utility called 'pvesh' exposes the whole REST API on the command | |
130 | line. | |
131 | ||
132 | So here is a summary of the advantage: | |
133 | ||
134 | - easy, human readable data format (native web browser format) | |
135 | - automatic parameter verification (we can also verify return values) | |
136 | - automatic generation of API documentation | |
137 | - easy way to create command line tools (using same API). | |
138 | ||
a4a9a328 | 139 | = API Implementation (PVE::RESTHandler) = |
e143e9d8 DM |
140 | |
141 | All classes exposing methods on the API use PVE::RESTHandler as base class. | |
142 | ||
143 | use base qw(PVE::RESTHandler); | |
144 | ||
145 | To expose methods, one needs to call register_method(): | |
146 | ||
147 | __PACKAGE__->register_method ($schema); | |
148 | ||
149 | Where $schema is a PVE method schema as described in | |
150 | PVE::JSONSchema. It includes a description of parameters and return | |
151 | values, and a reference to the actual code | |
152 | ||
153 | __PACKAGE__->register_method ({ | |
154 | name => 'echo', | |
155 | path => 'echo', | |
156 | method => 'GET', | |
157 | description => "simple return value of parameter 'text'", | |
158 | parameters => { | |
159 | additionalProperties => 0, | |
160 | properties => { | |
161 | text => { | |
162 | type => 'string', | |
163 | } | |
164 | }, | |
165 | }, | |
166 | returns => { | |
167 | type => 'string', | |
168 | }, | |
169 | code => sub { | |
ef73f03b | 170 | my ($param) = @_; |
e143e9d8 DM |
171 | |
172 | return $param->{text}; | |
173 | } | |
174 | }); | |
175 | ||
176 | The 'name' property is only used if you want to call the method | |
177 | directly from Perl. You can do that using: | |
178 | ||
179 | print __PACKAGE__->echo({ text => "a test" }); | |
180 | ||
181 | We use Perl's AUTOLOAD feature to implement this. Note: You need to | |
182 | pass parameters a HASH reference. | |
183 | ||
184 | There is a special helper method called cli_handler(). This is used by | |
185 | the CLIHandler Class for command line tools, where you want to pass | |
186 | arguments as array of strings. This uses Getopt::Long to parse parameters. | |
187 | ||
188 | There is a second way to map names to methods - using the 'path' | |
189 | property. And you can register subclasses. That way you can set up a | |
190 | filesystem like hierarchy to access methods. | |
191 | ||
192 | Here is an example: | |
193 | ---------------------------- | |
194 | package C1; | |
195 | ||
196 | __PACKAGE__->register_method ({ | |
197 | subclass => "C2", | |
198 | path => 'sub2', | |
199 | }); | |
200 | ||
201 | ||
202 | __PACKAGE__->register_method ({ | |
203 | name => 'list1', | |
204 | path => 'index', | |
205 | method => 'GET', | |
206 | ... | |
207 | }); | |
208 | ||
209 | package C2; | |
210 | ||
211 | __PACKAGE__->register_method ({ | |
212 | name => 'list2', | |
213 | path => 'index', | |
214 | method => 'GET', | |
215 | ... | |
216 | }); | |
217 | ------------------------------- | |
218 | ||
219 | The utily method find_handler (in PVE::RESTHandler) can be use to do | |
220 | 'path' related method lookups. | |
221 | ||
222 | C1->find_handler('GET', "/index") => C1::list1 | |
223 | C1->find_handler('GET', "/sub2/index") => C2::list2 | |
224 | ||
225 | The HTTP server use the URL (a path) to find the corresponding method. | |
