apibone

A tiny backbone that provides platform-agnostic environment for its modules.

apibone is initially designed for query various web services and return responses in requested format. Whether the platform is cli or web, it provides the same interface for input and output for modules.

An apibone query consists of 3 parts:

module [arguments ...] [--parameter value ...]

For example, to execute rates module in order to query 5 USD's TRY value:

$ apibone module rates usd try --amount 5 # cli example
http://example.com/rates/usd/try?amount=5 # web example

module: module name which will be called. (e.g.: rates)
arguments: arguments of operation (e.g.: first argument is usd, second argument is try)
parameters: optional settings for operation (e.g.: amount with value 5)
