node-restify is meant to do one thing: make it easy to build an API webservice in node.js that is correct as per the HTTP RFC. That's it. It's not MVC, it doesn't bring in a lot of baggage, it's just a small framework to let you build a web service API.

Usage

var restify = require('restify');

var server = restify.createServer();

server.get('/my/:name', function(req, res) {
  res.send(200, {
    name: req.uriParams.name
  });
});

server.post('/my', function(req, res) {
  // name could be in the query string, in a form-urlencoded body, or a
  // JSON body
  res.send(201, {
    name: req.params.name
  });
});

server.del('/my/:name', function(req, res) {
  res.send(204);
});

server.listen(8080);

Installation

npm install restify
