NOTE:

This library will not be actively maintained any further. You probably want to see the RESTArt library (still in development), which is a replacement with better intentions.

Resource

A Python library concentrated on the Resource layer of RESTful APIs.

Philosophy

You have data somewhere:

1. physical data stored in databases like MongoDB (NoSQL) or MySQL (RDBMS)
2. virtual data existing in applications (e.g. data in business logic)

and you want to expose it to your users through a RESTful Web API. Resource is a convenient library that allows you to do so.

Resource is database agnostic and web framework agnostic, which means you should/can choose databases (MongoDB, MySQL, etc.) and web frameworks (Flask, Django, etc.) yourself.

$ pip install Resource
