CherryOnTop

CherryOnTop is a library for building JSON API's in Python with CherryPy.

Routing: Built in support for binding static and dynamic URLs alongside the methods that implement their logic (a la Bottle / Flask).
Server: The power and stability of the CherryPy engine.
Utilities: Handling for query parameters and JSON request/response payloads, descriptive messages and clean propagation for error conditions.

"Hello world"

from cherryontop import Controller, get, start_server

class HelloWorld(Controller):

    @get('/hello')
    @get('/hello/:name')
    def hello_world(self, name='world'):
        return {'message': 'Hello %s!' % name}

start_server()

Run this script then point your browser to http://localhost:8080/hello/there (or just http://localhost:8080/hello). That's all there is to it.
