loot

A simple Node.js service that aggressively transforms RESTBase content for consumption by lightweight web apps.

Frozen/Deprecated

This server is not used any more, refer to the following links to an open source more production ready service:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc
• https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-services-mobileapps

Improvements to be done

• Fix space usage
  • Evict previous cache revisions when getting a new one
  • Gracefully avoid cache when ENOSPC and log errors
  • Make the cache LRU and implement periodic eviction
