rust-example

This is a working example using the rust-framework to create a RESTFul API.

Suppose you wanted to create a RESTFul service that could add two numbers and give you back the result.

/svc/example/add/5/5.json

And all that would need to write out in json was the following:

{"result":10}

That is just what this does. To see it work from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/russellsimpkins/rust-example.git
cd rust-example
composer install --no-dev
php -f cmdline.php

To see this work in your apache server you will need to make sure you have the correct permissions (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#directory)

<Directory /where/you/put/rust-example>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And/or you will need to add a mapping e.g.

AliasMatch /svc/example/add /where/you/put/rust-example/index.php [L]

Then you should be able to hit your url
