Devansh Gupta created THRIFT-4220: ------------------------------------- Summary: 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} 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 message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
