Restify

A ReST interface for appengine datastore.

Restify accepts and returns data in JSON format.Restify is CSOR compatible. Restify was built as a tool to aid front-end development in the absence of a proper backend. Restify helps us in setting up a backend rest server in minimal time. All you have to do is define your database model in ReSTify/model.py file and write the small snippet of code below.

Get Started

import webapp2

import ReSTify

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication(
    [
        ('/api/.*', ReSTify.ReST),
        ],
    debug=True)
