Stabilize API

Stabilize API

One of the first milestones should be to stabilize the API around each resource. REST resources and operations are based around this article by Adam Wiggins. Therefore

• GET - read
• POST - create
• PUT - update
• DELETE - delete

and those operations act on each object sub-path i.e.

• GET /h/hostname - Gets Host hostname
• DELETE /s/servicename/hostname - Deletes Service servicename for Host hostname
• PUT /c/appname/configname - Updates Configuration configname for Application appname

In the case of ease of use, I've opted to combined POST and PUT. Any PUT operation will optionally create any missing components. Using the PUT example above should appname not exist, it will optionally be created.

• Draft Application API
• Draft Configuration API
• Draft Host API
• Draft Service API
