Thank you Andrea for your answer. I will be waiting for more feedback
from your others.
I had a look to the doc, but i've seen there is not yet documentation
for Java code (aka geoserver-manager, i'm not aware of another library..).
The R geosapi works in a similar way as the Java geoserver-manager, it's
object-oriented and requires to instantiate a "manager" to work with it.
Similarly, R geosapi has several "managers" depending on the resource
you want to manage (workspace, datastore, style, etc), but wraps all
manager functions into a single 'GSManager'. This is the class to
instantiate to access to all functions to manage the different kind of
resources.
The point is how/where in the documentation we should give the piece of
code to instantiate such manager... Somehow it sounds we miss a 1st
section, on which then the other resource-specific sections could be
based on .. Any thought?
Having participated into the devs of geoserver-manager, i would also be
keen to contribute to its documentation in the meantime I would do it
for geosapi..
Cheers
Emmanuel

Hi,
happy to see more clients for the configuration REST API showing up :-)
I think examples based on geosapi could fit well in this page:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/index.html#examples
Right now we have "Examples", and they are all curl based... maybe the
easiest thing is to rename those into "CURL Examples"
and add a new section with links to "geosapi" examples. Let's hear if
others have alternative proposals on where to place it.
About the mechanics of the contribution, the documentation is written
using Sphinx and part of GeoServer sources, here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/master/doc/en/user/source/rest
So, a PR would be the way to contribute changes to it.
Cheers
Andrea

Dear Geoserver development team,
I contact you to ask you advice on the procedure to add code
examples in the GeoServer online documentation on how to interact
with the REST API by means of the R software.
Indeed i've been developing an R package called /geosapi/
(https://github.com/eblondel/geosapi/wiki) that is used as R
interface to the GeoServer REST API.
It is not robust as the equivalent Java /geoserver-manager,
/but///geosapi/ already offers a range of operations, including
CRUD operations for /workspaces, namespaces, datastores,
featuretypes, layer/s and /styles, /as well as the methods to
upload data to Geoserver. geosapi still miss the features to
manipulate coverage stores, but I hope this will come soon. The R
package also follows a clear testing procedure, with regular
integration tests, and it is already under release lifecycle for
the official CRAN packages repository
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=geosapi).
Although there is extensive documentation on /geosapi/, both
online and through the embedded R document, I believe it could be
valuable to add some entry point through the Geoserver
documentation here
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/index.html
Looking forward to your advice,
Best regards,
Emmanuel
