JsonFfiClient

JSON-FFI is an implementation of the jsonapi.org protocol where instead of hitting a server your client communicates with a local shared library.

It's a way to bridge the gap between native libraries and dynamic languages.

This gem provides a Connection class for the "json_api_client" gem. (it does not explicitly depend on "json_api_client though)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'json_ffi_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install json_ffi_client

Assuming:

You have a library called "funky" acting as the JSON FFI server for a 'person' resource.
You have versions of your libraries for Linux, OS X and Windows called "libfunky.so", "libfunky.dylib" and "libfunky.dll".
All three live in the same directory as the file defining your JsonApiclient::Resource subclass.

    class Person < JsonApiClient::Resource
      self.connection_class =
        JsonFfiClient::Connection.configured_for(:funky, __dir__)
    end

This gem could be the reference implementation for JSON FFI clients.

The JSON FFI protocol is in early stages of development.
