RESTful API in Node and Express to interact with Rosbridge suite.
This package creates a server that runs on Express node package. This server also functions as an endpoint for a REST api. I integrated roslibjs-client node package to extend the REST api to interact with any ROS environment. This server can be deployed and maintained easily rather than chaging the application code.
Changes Made
- Integrated roslibjs-client node package.
Usage
- Rest API can be used to subscribe, publish and call_service to ROS environment directly.
- Simple Http verb protocols instead of creating sockets (a pain in C# and Unity).
- Can be used with HoloLens/UWP simply by using HttpClient from namespace Windows.Web.Http
