I’ve recently updated the MARSTemplate demo to provide some samples of deployment options for a MARS-Curiosity REST Server. VCL application FMX application Windows service Console application Apache server module Microsoft IIS ISAPI DLL Using a proxy webserver (Apache, nginx, lighttpd…) More to come (mORMot, Sparkle, …) The demo shows how easy it is to share […]
The SDN Event (2016, December 9th) was great: good attendance, got a lot of questions about my open source projects and very good feedback from developers! Here are a few pictures I took during the day (including a selfie with Bob Swart and Marco Cantù I am quite proud of): Link to the Google Photo’s […]
I will be speaking at SDN (Software Development Network) event on December 9th, in The Netherlands. I am honored to take part as a speaker to this event, joining a long list of top quality Delphi experts who has been there in the past (including Bob Swart of course, that also is the organizer). The agenda of […]
As you may have noticed, MARS-Curiosity is no more a fork of MARS-Library on GitHub. I started this project back in 2014 and you can read details in “The project” section of the ReadMe.md file. A change log is available here. With the latest additions (MessageBodyReader mechanism and metadata support and emission [a blog post […]
I’ve added a new feature to MARS-Curiosity library: automatic deserialization of http body content! With a natural symmetry with respect to MessageBodyWriter (serialization of the result value of a method into the http response), there is now a MessageBodyReader mechanism and a registry that holds a list of readers ready to be used when needed. The […]
In this video I will cover the basics to implement authentication and authorization with MARS-Curiosity library. Since March 2016, I’ve added JWT support to MARS-Curiosity and this impacts significantly the authentication/authorization area of the library. Some topics may be good for some other specific sessions but with this video you should get a glance at […]
In this video I will show you how to handle parameter’s value that comes with client’s request. MARS-Curiosity provides you a good abstraction of the underlying http protocol and gives you an easy way to gather values from path-params, query-params, request headers and request body (including http forms). Bonus: in the video is shown the […]
In this video I will show how to build your very first MARS-Curiosity application server. Key aspects not to miss: a simple VCL application (MARSTemplate) is used as host of the TMARSEngine, in order to ease the development; high-level abstraction from http internals (with URL and verbs mapping): concentrate yourself on the application logic implementation rather than […]
I am very happy to introduce this project I am working on since a while (v1.0 released today!): MARS-Curiosity, a REST library for Embarcadero Delphi Pure REST approach, standard concepts in a familiar Delphi flavor (including a component based client library). The main purpose of this library is to provide an easy but flexible way […]
