PONeed a better language/frameworks doing RESTful webservices
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm developing out replacements for our company's web service stack. </p> <p>The current stack was developed using SOAP and had some REST endpoints manually hacked in. It's a maintenance nightmare. </p> <p>I can use any language, tech, and framework as long as it it fits the goal. </p> <p>Requirements are: </p> <ul> <li>easy for serving up RESTful services </li> <li>uses an MVC model</li> <li>supports injecting middle layers to do authentication (OAuth and Basic Auth) around calls (preferably in a declarative way)</li> <li>makes it easy to do JSON, JSONP, and Plain ol' XML (Simple XML) type serialization of the return data</li> <li>preferably has built in caching control and built in E-Tags support</li> <li>preferably using a statically typed language but this doesn't matter if the amount of code I have to write is dramatically less</li> <li>it would be awesome to have a framework that supports doing microthreaded/epoll type HTTP handling so I can easily support HTTP long polling, but this isn't a requirement </li> </ul> <p>So far I've looked at:</p> <ul> <li>.NET (C#) <ul> <li>ASP.NET MVC (simple MVC framework, would have to add the missing pieces manually to fit my requirements)</li> <li>Monorails (simple MVC framework, less supported)</li> <li>WCF (unfortunately it takes a lot of overriding to force it into submission to work nicely for consumption on clients not using WCF themselves)</li> </ul></li> <li>Python <ul> <li>Pylons (top of my list right now, but it lacks easy XML serialization)</li> <li>DJango (more traditional web framework than REST framework)</li> </ul></li> <li>Scala (still new but big startups are using it)</li> <li>Ruby on Rails (doesn't scale the way I like)</li> </ul> <p>Any other ideas or thoughts? </p>
