Building an API

I’ve had this very original idea that I need to build a RESTful API. So I got started…

I’ve worked with Ruby on Rails for quite many years now, on and off, and it has been nice to work with Rails and Ruby. So I’m not straying far when I decided on Grape (and Sinatra), when selecting frameworks.

Grape seems to supply everything I need so far, together with grape-entity. I’m planning on integrating multiple datastores (SQL & LDAP), into one-service-to-rule-them-all for very generic data in JSON-format, to be consumed elsewhere.
