RESTful mORMot

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-10. Open Source › mORMot Framework

Our Synopse mORMot Framework was designed in accordance with Fielding's REST architectural style without using HTTP and without interacting with the World Wide Web.
Such Systems which follow REST principles are often referred to as "RESTful".

Optionally, the Framework is able to serve standard HTTP/1.1 pages over the Internet (by using the mORMotHttpClient / mORMotHttpServer units and the TSQLHttpServer and TSQLHttpClient classes), in an embedded low resource and fast HTTP server.

REpresentational State Transfer (REST)

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-10. Open Source › mORMot Framework

Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web.
As such, it is not just a method for building "web services". The terms "representational state transfer" and "REST" were introduced in 2000 in the doctoral dissertation of Roy Fielding, one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification, on which the whole Internet rely.

There are 5 basic fundamentals of web which are leveraged to create REST services:

Everything is a Resource;
Every Resource is Identified by a Unique Identifier;
Use Simple and Uniform Interfaces;
Communication is Done by Representation;
Every Request is Stateless.

Some enhancements to REST routing of interface-based services

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-07. Open Source › mORMot Framework

We have just committed some enhancements to interface-based service process.

TSQLRestRoutingREST will now recognize several URI schemes, like new root/Calculator/Add?n1=1&n2=2 alternative could be pretty convenient to be consumed from some REST clients.

Please find here a documentation update.

AES encryption over HTTP

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-05. Open Source › mORMot Framework

In addition to regular HTTPS flow encryption, which is not easy to setup due to the needed certificates, mORMot proposes a proprietary encryption scheme. It is based on SHA-256 and AES-256/CTR algorithms, so is known to be secure.

You do not need to setup anything on the server or the client configuration, just run the TSQLHttpClient and TSQLHttpServer classes with the corresponding parameters.

Domain-Driven Design: part 4

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-04. Open Source › mORMot Framework

Clean Uncoupled Domain-Oriented Architecture

One year ago, we already made a quick presentation of Domain-Driven Design, in the context of our mORMot framework.
After one year of real-world application of those patterns, it is now time to give more light to DDD.

Let's continue with part 4, which will define Domain-Driven Design as could be implemented with our Synopse mORMot framework

Domain-Driven Design: part 3

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-04. Open Source › mORMot Framework

One year ago, we already made a quick presentation of Domain-Driven Design, in the context of our mORMot framework.
After one year of real-world application of those patterns, it is now time to give more light to DDD.

Let's continue with part 3, which will define Domain-Driven Design patterns and principles - this will be the main article of the whole serie!

Domain-Driven Design: part 2

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-04. Open Source › mORMot Framework

One year ago, we already made a quick presentation of Domain-Driven Design, in the context of our mORMot framework.
After one year of real-world application of those patterns, it is now time to give more light to DDD.

Let's continue with part 2, which will define Domain-Driven Design high-level model principles.

Domain-Driven Design: part 1

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-01-04. Open Source › mORMot Framework

One year ago, we already made a quick presentation of Domain-Driven Design, in the context of our mORMot framework.
After one year of real-world application of those patterns, and a training made by a great French software designer named Jérémie Grodziski, it is now time to give more light to DDD.

Let's start with part 1, which will be a general introduction to Domain-Driven Design, trying to state how it may be interesting (or not) for your projects.
