FastAPI-JSONAPI

FastAPI-JSONAPI is a FastAPI extension for building REST APIs. Implementation of a strong specification JSONAPI 1.0. This framework is designed to quickly build REST APIs and fit the complexity of real life projects with legacy data and multiple data storages.

Architecture

Install

pip install FastAPI-JSONAPI

This example provides the following API structure:

URL	method	endpoint	Usage
/users/	GET	user_list	Get a collection of users
/users/	POST	user_list	Create a user
/users/	DELETE	user_list	Delete users
/users/{obj_id}/	GET	user_detail	Get user details
/users/{obj_id}/	PATCH	user_detail	Update a user
/users/{obj_id}/	DELETE	user_detail	Delete a user
/operations/	POST	atomic	Create, update, delete users
