go-json-rest v2.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2014-11-30 // over 9 years ago

  • Main changes

    • 💅 Apache-style access log
    • 👌 Improved timer and recorder middlewares
    • 🆕 new JSONP middleware
    • 👉 Make the gzip middleware support streaming responses

    💅 Apache-style access log

    🌲 Go-Json-Rest now reuses the well known Apache log formatting syntax to define the access log.

    With this new feature, the user can define his own record format:

    rest.ResourceHandler{ LoggerFormat: "%t %r %s %b", }

    or pick a predefined one:

    rest.ResourceHandler{ LoggerFormat: rest.CommonLogFormat, }

    0️⃣ or just just ignore this field and get a default, development friendly access log.

    🌲 This is an implementation of a subset of the Apache mod_log_config syntax. Some options are not implemented yet, I expect the support can grow over time.
    🌲 See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html for reference.
    👀 And See Godoc for the list of supported options and predefined formats: https://godoc.org/github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest/rest#AccessLogFormat

    🗄 Note: Compatibility with the existing JSON logging is maintained. This JSON logging feature may be deprecated in the future is favor of a more powerful one. Internally, logMiddleware is replaced by accessLogApacheMiddleware and accessLogJsonMiddleware.

    👌 Improved timer and recorder middlewares

    • timerMiddleware now populates request.Env["START_TIME"]
    • recorderMiddleware now records request.Env["BYTES_WRITTEN"]
    • ✅ tests have been added to both

    JSONP middleware

    This is a new public middleware that can be instantiated like this:

    handler := rest.ResourceHandler{ PreRoutingMiddlewares: []rest.Middleware{ &rest.JsonpMiddleware{ CallbackNameKey: "cb", }, }, }

    👀 See the complete example here: https://github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest#jsonp

    👉 Make the gzip middleware support streaming responses

    The gzip Writer is now instantiated once per response, allowing multiple calls to response.Write() or response.WriteJson().
    👀 See the streaming example here: https://github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest#streaming
