Hypermedia as the engine of application HATEOAS


This information came to my knowledge when I was implementing a REST service for my company.


A REST client enters a REST application through a simple fixed URL. All future actions the client may take are discovered within resource representations returned from the server. The media types used for these representations, and the link relations they may contain, are standardized. The client transitions through application states by selecting from the links within a representation or by manipulating the representation in other ways afforded by its media type. In this way, RESTful interaction is driven by hypermedia, rather than out-of-band information.



To learn HATEOAS,

SVN to GIT Migration with revision history

This blog explains the process I have followed while moving one of code branch of one of the projects to Gitlab. SVN to Git migration can be done using the git-svn command in Git.  Documentation about this command can be found from here. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn My Company svn repository can be accessed using two ways svn+ssh://192.168.x.x/usr/local/ svnroot/branches/PROJECT/PROJECT_BRANCH http://svn.companyName.net/repos/svnroot/branches/ PROJECT/PROJECT_BRANCH SVN to GIT migration can be done using one of the above-mentioned URLs.  Git can be installed and configured to use its inbuilt SSH client or third party ssh client ( https://6xgate.github.io/TortoisePlink/ ) First of all, this process should be run in a server where the system does not go idle. I have tried this on my PC. But when I have locked the PC, it crashes. Therefore I have tried this in one of our internal server. I have tried to get SVN revision history when the P...

President - Association of Computer Engineering Students

I was selected to be the president of ACES, Association of Computer Engineering Students, the official student body of the Department of Computer Engineering Students. ACES Site :  aces.ce.pdn.ac.lk  It was a great opportunity to work with fellow undergraduates, lecturers, senior graduates, and industry. Until now We were able to organize few events in University of Peradeniya and Colombo. This event was organized by ACES Council, a group of 14 undergraduates. The events are, ACES Hackathon - This is an inner hackathon for undergraduates in the University of Peradeniya. ACES Hackathon, held annually for the last 5 years was held from the 29th of April to the 1st of May 2016 at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya. The Hackathon brings together undergraduates from the Faculty of Engineering and Science for 3 days to develop their creative skills to provide innovative IT solutions. This year there were 150+ participants.   www.readme.lk/saw-ac...

REST VS SOAP

SOAP and REST both allow you to create your own API. API stands for Application Programming Interface. It makes it possible to transfer data from an application to other applications. An API receives requests and sends back responses through internet protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, and others.  Many popular websites provide public APIs for their users, for example, Google Maps has a  public REST API  that lets you customize Google Maps with your own content. There are also many APIs that have been created by companies for internal use. There are significant differences between SOAP and RESTful web services. The bullets below break down the features of each web service based on personal experience. REST RESTful web services are stateless. You can test this condition by restarting the server and checking if interactions survive. For most servers, RESTful web services provide a good caching infrastructure over an HTTP GET method. This can improve the performance...
