Hi all, Is there any interest in a RESTful interface to Maya?
The idea would be to facilitate external access of Maya from things like Web Applications or externally running GUIs. I mocked up a minimal example of how it could look here: - https://github.com/abstractfactory/RestMEL - https://github.com/abstractfactory/RestMEL/tree/master/restmel/demo # List all nodesimport requestsprint requests.get("http://127.0.0.1:6000/node";).text The Demo includes an externally running QML application. Alternatives What would be the benefits of something like this over the native commandPort or ZeroMQ and c/o? - commandPort uses the same port for multiple instances of Maya, causing only the first instance to get exposed. Can this be remedied? What else is there about the commandPort that could be better? - ZeroMQ relies on a binary library and isn’t as supported as plain HTML. Meaning a web application could gain access to Maya via native commands, whereas talking to a ZMQ server requires third-party binaries. Thoughts?
