Hey Andre,
Yes, it seems like a nice framework but I was hoping that I wouldn't
have to write it from scratch :-)
Thrift looks interesting in that it generates all of the source code
for a language based on the Thrift file. You can create a Thrift
definition file and then Thrift generates the source code required for
interacting with your web service for a number of languages.
The problem is that if your language isn't supported then it is kind
of a pain. For example Evernote uses Thrift for their API so all of
the required source code for interacting with their API is provided in
C++, Ruby, Python, C#, PHP, etc. Since Revolution isn't included I
have to find/write a Thrift library and then recreate the auto
generated code (based on PHP or C for example) by hand.
If no libraries exist already I'm thinking of trying to throw together
a Revolution version based off the PHP version. The other route would
be an external wrapped around the C++ Thrift code. There is a PHP
extension but if your server doesn't have it installed then the code
falls back to a pure PHP version.
