This morning I kicked off a quick spec for replacing WSME in
Ceilometer with ... something:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/218155/
This is because not only is WSME not that great, it also results in
controller code that is inscrutable.
The problem with the spec is that it doesn't know what to replace
WSME with.
So, for your Friday afternoon pleasure I invite anyone with an
opinion to hold forth on what framework they would choose. The spec
lists a few options but please feel to not limit yourself to those.
If you just want to shoot the breeze please respond here. If you
have specific comments on the spec please response there.
I'm not going to get into another discussion about what WSGI/routing
framework to use (go Falcon! ;) ). But, since you are asking
specifically about *validation* of request input, I'd like to suggest
just using plain ol' JSONSchema, and exposing the JSONSchema documents
in a GET /schemas/{object_type} resource endpoint.
voluptuous may be more Pythonic, as Julien mentioned, but the problem is
you can't expose the validation schema to the end user via any standard
document format (like JSONSchema). Using the jsonschema library along
with standard JSONSchema documents allows the API to publish its
expected request and response schemas to the end user, allowing, for
example, a client library to pull the schema documents and utilize a
JSONSchema parsing/validation library locally to pre-validate data
before ever sending it over the wire.
Best,
