Ark resolver in Node JS or Python

[Todd Fine]

Greetings,

I was trying to create a quick ark resolver and metadata returner in NodeJS or Python, with common routing software like Express, Fastify, and Flask, but I found that the colon at the end of the segment ("ark:/") followed by a slash in the ark standard created a lot of problems that I couldn't easily resolve.

Since such frameworks are so popular, I was wondering if anyone had implemented a solution in either of them that I could look at.

Best wishes,

Todd

Hi Todd,

I used Python (via the FastAPI framework) to implement an ark resolver and decided to 301 Redirect to the requested path without the slash after the colon. Implementation details: <https://github.com/polyneme/ns/blob/d8a8fbadf478fe62590b927afbd3c093d5c497f5/xyz_polyneme_ns/main.py#L845>.

This seemed reasonable to me as I interpreted the “colon slash” form to be deprecated (but still required to be supported by implementations) in the draft ark spec.

Best,

Donny
