I’ve just pushed a few commits to MARS (https://github.com/andrea-magni/MARS) repository and there is a new feature in the library now. Nowadays, for a number of different reasons, you may find yourself trying to keep your endpoint’s URLs as short as possible. It is quite usual to see urls like https://youtu.be/[id], a shorter version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[id]. […]
One of MARS users (Kostas, thank you for the constant feedback on MARS) asked how to enable SSL through Indy built-in server (link). I personally tend to setup a reverse proxy (using Apache, nginx or Microsoft IIS) and let the webserver to take care of low level aspects such as SSL, compression, caching and load […]
I will be speaking at the DAPUG (Danish Embarcadero User Group) event on April 24-25th in Nyborg (DK). The workshop (usually structured with a single speaker for two days) this year has a special format with two speakers (Marco Cantù, Embarcadero Product Manager and me) co-presenting most of the sessions. This year also marks the […]
Hope you all had a great start of the year! 🙂 One frequent suggestion I got from developers willing to use MARS REST library is to make it as easier as possible to start from scratch. These latest weeks I tried to follow this suggestion and tried to simplify some aspects here and there, for […]
JWT stands for JSON Web Tokens and it is a very popular technology used to implement custom-content tokens across REST services. Even if it is generally much over-rated and have its own drawbacks (especially when dealing with security), it is becoming something like a de facto standard for Web and REST applications authorization/authorization mechanisms.

I know, everybody is looking at the new Linux support in Delphi 10.2 Tokyo but I think this post has to come before the one about Linux support for MARS-Curiosity (spoiler: a penguin has been spotted on MARS 🙂 ). On February, 18th I released v1.1 of MARS-Curiosity library and started adding a bunch of new […]

One of the key aspect I wanted to achieve while designing the MARS-Curiosity REST library was not to tie the developer to a specific implementation or library used in MARS-Curiosity. For example, one may want to use a specific ORM / DAC library / JSON library for many different reasons (like performance, functionalities, uniformity with […]
