[ANN] Respect for Rails 0.1.0 is out!

[Nicolas Desprès]

Hi,

Just to let you know that I have just released a new Rails plug-in called: Respect for Rails.

Never feel the need to document your REST API while still developing it because a colleague of yours is making a mobile app client at the same time? If yes, then this gem is for you.

You:

- describe the structure of your server requests/responses using the compact DSL provided.

- mount the engine in your routes.rb

Respect for Rails:

- generates an interactive documentation page in an engine (following http://json-schema.org/ standard)

- offers a filter for requests/responses validation.

- sanitize your parameters while validating them.

Check it out at: https://github.com/nicolasdespres/respect-rails

A basic Rails 3 example app is included in the repository.

It is still in beta but the existing API should not move, so you can use it safely. The major feature I plan to add before to release version 1.0.0 is a way to let users document their web app through resources.

Feel free to contact me for further information or to post a message on the dedicated discussion group: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ruby-respect-gem-talk 

Have a great day!
