Restlet framework
Company blog · restlet.com/blogprogrammingweb
Restlet framework is the company blog at restlet.com, writing about programming and web. Since 2014, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The Restlet framework blog, linked for API-building material: a tutorial on building a REST API over a Google Spreadsheet with APISpark, hierarchical routing for API versioning, and Groovy project news. Comments only link to it.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
APISpark (PaaS for APIs) is capable of creating a REST API (JSON/YAML/XML formats) on top of a Google Spreadsheet, using it as a database: http://restlet.com/technical-resources/apispark/tutorials/tu... In the latest version, it comes with a server-side API cache to prevent GSheet latency and availability issues. Note: I'm the founder of APISpark

HN discussionno, do not make one big if else block. I havent used restlet but I think what you want is hierarchical routing: http://restlet.com/technical-resources/restlet-framework/gui... You'd have a Restlet impl for each version of the API
