Devansh Gupta commented on THRIFT-4220: --------------------------------------- `/contrib` makes sense, since yes it does break I can change the variables names part of the spec. Also you need to supply it the generated JSON files. I already have the code up here https://github.com/degupta/human_readable_json_protocol I will need to obviously clean it up a bit and some more testing (and probably change the name `HumanReadableJsonProtocol` is a mouthful, it was named for the exact problem I was trying to solve) The Golang & Ruby versions are very well battle tested (well to the extent my companies use it - which is pretty decent I think). We can start with a few languages and not have to implement all supported languages correct? Also what is the procedure for contributing to `/contrib` (as in the format - is it just a directory?). How would the tests works? Sorry, did not find any ReadMes for it. > Allow Service calls to be made using TSimpleJSONProtocol (using Simple JSON) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-4220 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4220 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Wish List > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Reporter: Devansh Gupta > Fix For: 1.0 > > > https://blog.parsable.com/using-human-readable-json-endpoints-with-thrift-for-free-774ba505c893 > https://github.com/degupta/human_readable_json_protocol > If we publish our Services/APIs as Thrift today you can't make requests using > simple Human Readable JSON. This means publishing our APIs to third party > users means they have to > 1. Know how to use Thrift > 2. Have all the Thrift definition files or the generated code > Or we have to build Libraries for each of the platforms we want to support. > This is not always possible. > I propose we do something like this: > {code} > exception SystemException { > 1: i32 errorCode, > 2: string message, > } > struct User { > 1: string id, > 2: string email, > 3: string name, > 4: i64 validatedAt > } > struct LoginResult { > 1: string authToken, > 2: User currentUser > } > service AuthenticationService { > LoginResult login(1: string email, 2: string password) throws(1: > SystemException err) > } > {code} > Request Format: > {code} > { > "method": "METHOD_NAME", > "arguments": { ... } > } > { > "method": "login", > "arguments": { > "email": "deva...@wi.co", > "password": "password" > } > } > {code} > RESULT: > {code} > { > "method": "login", > "result": { > "success": { > "authToken": "some_auth_token", > "currentUser": { > "id": "6a6c982b-62f9-46d2-aff9-bd3a1cdf43f9", > "email": "us...@wi.co", > "name": "user1", > "validatedAt": 0 > } > } > } > } > {code} > This uses the JSON generated by the JSON Generator as "metadata" to figure > out the Field Keys and Types. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
