restify is a smallish framework, similar to express for building REST APIs. For full details, see http://restify.com

var restify = require('restify');

var server = restify.createServer({
  name: 'myapp',
  version: '1.0.0'
});
server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.queryParser());
server.use(restify.bodyParser());

server.get('/echo/:name', function (req, res, next) {
  res.send(req.params);
  return next();
});

server.listen(8080, function () {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

var assert = require('assert');
var restify = require('restify');

var client = restify.createJsonClient({
  url: 'http://localhost:8080',
  version: '~1.0'
});

client.get('/echo/mark', function (err, req, res, obj) {
  assert.ifError(err);
  console.log('Server returned: %j', obj);
});

Note that in future versions of restify, the clients have moved to a separate restify-clients repository and npm package.

npm install restify

Here is how to cut a release for a new "$version"

1. Update the version in "package.json" and change ## not yet released at the top of "CHANGES.md" to the following. In other words, add a section for the new release.

   ## not yet released
   
   (nothing yet)
   
   ## $version
   

2. Ensure things are correct by running make versioncheck, then commit your change, with something like:

   git commit -am "$version"
   git push origin
   

3. Run the following to tag and publish the release:

   make cutarelease
