A Python library with good intentions for building REST APIs.

1. Elegant

   RESTArt follows the art of Flask. It tries to help you build REST APIs by writing simple, clean and Pythonic code.

2. Light

   Only the essentials for REST APIs are included, no assumptions are made for you. The frameworks, databases and the business logic are all up to you.

3. Flexible

   Customizations and extensions are made easy. The limit is your imagination!

A RESTArt resource is just a class:

# helloworld.py

from restart.api import RESTArt
from restart.resource import Resource

api = RESTArt()

@api.route(methods=['GET'])
class Greeting(Resource):
    name = 'greeting'

    def read(self, request):
        return {'hello': 'world'}

Run the Greeting resource as an API via command restart:

$ restart helloworld:api

Consume the API now:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/greeting
{"hello": "world"}
