Hi,
When I browse the API in 2.16, I seem to get XM
https://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/resources
instead of HTML, like it was in 2.15
https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/resources
Is this intentional?
Or is there just a missing style file:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it

Hi,
yes its intentional. The HTML templates were static and too much hassle to keep in synch with the model.
App idea: make an app that renders a nice, linked HTML-view for all resources based on the json resources.

A shortcut to making an app would be if we exposed .json by default instead of XML:
https://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/resources.json has nicely clickable links if the user has something like JSONView installed:

We do expose JSON as the default, if you send header “Accept: /” that would return a JSON result. Problem is that the browser is usually sending something like “Accept: text/html, application/xml, …” so since it has no match for text/html, it will go to application/xml.
We are hoping to provide an API browser app for 2.17.

Of course we could do that, but that would take away part of the restfulness of the API. I don’t think we should change the way our links works, just because a plugin supports making http://* into real links. I understand that it is a bit harder to browse the API right now, but that should be fixed soon. We don’t have to wait for 2.17 to be released for this, it could easily live as an external app, it shouldn’t take long to develop something like that.

Much though I have to love json, this does seem to be a case where maintaining an xml stylesheet is the cleanest separation of form and content.
What about adding an xml processing instruction to the xml like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<some base url>/dxf2html.xsl"?>
<document>
... </document>
This will have no effect on consuming the xml normally (except for making it one line longer) but will allow a browser to render it nicely.
Of course dxf2html.xsl would have to be maintained. It could be provided by an app. Or the whole url could be just a system setting. Then if the setting exists the processing instruction is emitted, if not then its not. Or there is a basic functionality which can be overridden by an app …

Hi Guys
I must say, seconding what Knut has pointed out, I’m a bit worried by this development especially from a rapid app development perspective. I for one, am totally reliant on the json Web-API resources and interact with them on a day-to-day basis. So if accessing web-api json resources is becoming increasingly harder, what’s the alternative for app developers? I’m sorry guys for being ridiculous, but please help me out?
Regards
Farai

Accessing the API is just as simple as before, we never defaulted to a JSON browsable API before. What we did, is to remove the old (and outdated) HTML rendering. For app developer, there should be no difference (unless you were parsing the HTML, but I hope you didn’t). JSON is just as supported as before, using either an extension (.json) or using the accept header (application/json). For your app, there should be no difference.
For browsing, we will provide an app shortly after release.

I must say, seconding what Knut has pointed out, I’m a bit worried by this development especially from a rapid app development perspective. I for one, am totally reliant on the json Web-API resources and interact with them on a day-to-day basis. So if accessing web-api json resources is becoming increasingly harder, what’s the alternative for app developers? I’m sorry guys for being ridiculous, but please help me out?

Much though I have to love json, this does seem to be a case where maintaining an xml stylesheet is the cleanest separation of form and content.
What about adding an xml processing instruction to the xml like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<some base url>/dxf2html.xsl"?> <document> ... </document>
This will have no effect on consuming the xml normally (except for making it one line longer) but will allow a browser to render it nicely.
Of course dxf2html.xsl would have to be maintained. It could be provided by an app. Or the whole url could be just a system setting. Then if the setting exists the processing instruction is emitted, if not then its not. Or there is a basic functionality which can be overridden by an app …

Of course we could do that, but that would take away part of the restfulness of the API. I don’t think we should change the way our links works, just because a plugin supports making http://* into real links. I understand that it is a bit harder to browse the API right now, but that should be fixed soon. We don’t have to wait for 2.17 to be released for this, it could easily live as an external app, it shouldn’t take long to develop something like that.

So you can’t just add .json to these links?

We do expose JSON as the default, if you send header “Accept: /” that would return a JSON result. Problem is that the browser is usually sending something like “Accept: text/html, application/xml, …” so since it has no match for text/html, it will go to application/xml.
We are hoping to provide an API browser app for 2.17.

A shortcut to making an app would be if we exposed .json by default instead of XML:
https://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/resources.json has nicely clickable links if the user has something like JSONView installed:

Hi,
yes its intentional. The HTML templates were static and too much hassle to keep in synch with the model.
App idea: make an app that renders a nice, linked HTML-view for all resources based on the json resources.

Or is there just a missing style file:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it

Hi,
When I browse the API in 2.16, I seem to get XM
https://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/resourcesinstead of HTML, like it was in 2.15
