Pixwel API

API manages files and metadata for the Pixwel Platform. Communicates to MongoDB, S3 and so forth. Consumed by the pixwel ui. MVC, based around using li3_resources, with a philosophy:
  • Provide a consistent, conventional way across the application to query objects, and a standard interface to manipulate queries
  • Abstract away the differences between browsers and API clients, allowing controller code to focus on business logic
  • Conform to the principles of REST and hypermedia
This means the controllers may seem a little “magic” at first, but you will get used to it.
