REST or HTTP interface ?

[Thibaut Barrère]

Hello,

this has been asked a while back but maybe there are further
developments available.

Is there some way to expose MongoDB via REST/HTTP (either simple or
complicated queries) ?

Ideally I'd be looking for some Ruby code I can integrate into an
existing Rails app, but any inspiration will do.

cheers,

Thibaut

OK so there is some experimental REST interface documented here:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface

Is it here to stay most likely ? (raw idea ?) So that I can see if I
need to develop something on top of that (simple proxying via Rails
maybe).

We're not entirely sure what we're going to do with that.
I still think the best solution is a stand-alone rest layer written in
a python/ruby/php that sits side by side with the db.
I think that will scale better and be easier to manage then having it embedded.
It'll also be easier to handle comlpex security roles that way.

Here are a couple, though I can't comment on production-readiness:

Hi,

@Elliot - thanks for the feedback. Yes I'll use a simple application
wrapper on top of regular mongo_mapper calls then. Thanks!
@Kyle - thanks for the links!
