 TEMA # 2

RESTful API
REST

REpresentational State Transfer

RESTful

Web Services basados en arquitectura REST.

Implementan interacción basada en métodos HTTP
Aplican URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)
Representación de información en formato JSON
RESTful API

Application Programming Interface

Descompone una transacción en pequeños módulos
Cada módulo gestiona una parte de la transacción.
Aplica métodos basados en HTTP (RFC 2616)
RESTful API
RESTful API
RESTful API

GET (Read only access)

PUT (New resource)
DELETE (Remove resource)
POST (Update/Create resource)
RESTful API
TEMA # 3

JSON
JSON

JavaScript Object Notation

JSON

Colección de pares nombre / valor

Lista ordenada de valores

{"customers":[
{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
{"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
]}
JSON Files

Extensión .JSON
MIME Type “application/json”
JSON & RoR

Ruby on Rails brinda soporte integrado para JSON

class UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
@users = User.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render xml: @users}
format.json { render json: @users}
end
end
end
GSON

Gradle

compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
GSON

Primitivas
// Serialization
Gson gson = new Gson();
gson.toJson(1); // ==> 1
gson.toJson("abcd"); // ==> "abcd"
gson.toJson(new Long(10)); // ==> 10
int[] values = { 1 };
gson.toJson(values); // ==> [1]

// Deserialization
int one = gson.fromJson("1", int.class);
Integer one = gson.fromJson("1", Integer.class);
Long one = gson.fromJson("1", Long.class);
Boolean false = gson.fromJson("false", Boolean.class);
String str = gson.fromJson("\"abc\"", String.class);
String[] anotherStr = gson.fromJson("[\"abc\"]", String[].class);
