I have an (in-development) python system that needs to shuttle events / requests
around over the network to other parts of itself. It will also need to
cooperate with a .net application running on yet a different machine.
So, naturally I figured some sort of HTTP event / RPC type of would be a good
idea?
Are there any modules I should know about, or guidelines I could read, that
could aid me in the design of the API?
To clarify:
Each message would be <1KB of data total, and consist of some structured object
containing strings, numbers, dates, etc.
For instance there would be an "add user" request that would contain one or
more User objects each having a number of properties like:
- Full Name
- Username
- Password
- Email addresses (a variable length array)
- Street Address line1
- Street Address line1
- Street Address line1
- City
- State
- Zip
- Sign Up Date
.... and so on.
Since I need to work with other platforms, pickle is out... what are the
alternatives? XML? JSON?
How should I formally define each of the valid messages and objects?
Thank you,
Use XMLRPC. Implementations for both languages are available. There is
no need for formal spec - which is a good thing. You just call the
server, and it works.
