Bunson

A traditional RESTful framework for Node.js, based on python's Flask and the Flask-Slither extension.

Introduction

There is a lot to be said about the RESTful architecture. Even with the various frameworks written for node, I've found there is still a need for a minimal RESTful framework, in the traditional sense. Sails.js is the closest one to the mark.

The aim of Bunson is to provide a server side only framework that clients can interface with. It supports traditional REST standards, but adds support for websockets. There is no session handling. Sessions should be managed by the client. Bunson relies on the fact that all relevant information is passed along in the request.

Bunson is database and client agnostic.
