From Dbo to RESTful database web service
Added by Dave Far about 6 years ago
I am evaluating database ORMs for C and like webtoolkit's possibility to extend to a full Widget library.
If we use Dbo now, how difficult will it be to expose our database later on as RESTful web service using Wt + Dbo?
I did read https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/boards/1/topics/14034?r=14813#message-14813, but have difficulties to estimate the effort to extend a database integration via Dbo to offer its data as RESTful web services using Wt + Dbo.

If you're looking for a java-esque sort of automatic json serialization based on information furnished to Wt::Dbo, I don't think that exists now, nor do I know what the Wt developers have in store. They have mentioned that they're working on something to make REST services easier to create.

If you want to serialize Dbo objects, JsonSerializer might do what you want. There's no equivalent JSON parser, though.
You can of course use Wt::Json (or any other Json parser/serializer), and then write the necessary code to put that into a Dbo object.
