Tornado_jsonapi is a Python 3.3+ library for creating JSON API (as per jsonapi.org specification) using Tornado web framework. It features
- semi-automatic API generation using provided JSON schema of resource;
- support for arbitrary data sources, including SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL (via DBAPI2 support layer);
- support for asynchronous data source operations;
- strict jsonapi.org specification conformance.
import sqlite3
import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
import tornado_jsonapi.handlers
import tornado_jsonapi.resource
schema = {
"title": "post",
"properties": {
"text":
{
"type": "string"
},
"author":
{
"type": "string"
}
}
}
res = tornado_jsonapi.resource.DBAPI2Resource(
schema, sqlite3, sqlite3.connect(':memory:'))
res._create_table()
application = tornado.web.Application([
(
r"/api/posts/([^/]*)",
tornado_jsonapi.handlers.APIHandler,
dict(resource=res)
)
])
application.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()$ pip install tornado_jsonapihttps://tornado_jsonapi.readthedocs.org
a.k.a. TODO
- improve documentation 😔
- automatic API doc generation based on JSON schema;
- MongoDB/Motor support;
- support for API testing.
