REST Interface

Resources are accessible via RESTful URIs to allow the creation of Mash-ups:

JSON uploads should be PUT to ​http://server.domain/eden/module/resource.json

NB JSON must not include trailing commas in lists (just like Internet Explorer). [This is a SimpleJSON limitation]

Testing

RESTclient

CURL

For testing/PUT using CURL follow the example

In the example - name%40example.com represents your login ​name@example.com and password is to be replaced by your password.

person.xml is the file name to PUT 

curl -H 'content-type:application/xml' -T person.xml http://name%40example.com:password@localhost:8000/sahana/pr/person.xml&ignore_errors=False
