[Kimchi-devel] [Proposal] Introducing the version in REST API URI for kimchi/ginger plugins

Fri Jul 17 12:47:19 UTC 2015

Hi Kimchi/Ginger Devel-Team,

Thank you for creating WOK branch to separate the kimchi plugin from the
base frame work. It is a great idea.

Along with the separation of kimchi plugin looks like there is a
transformation of REST API URIs as well. So thinking in those lines will it
be good idea even to introduce version to the REST API URIs ?

Let me take one REST API URI to convey clear on what I am talking about.

To retrieve the host repository information, current URI is:
"/plugins/kimchi/host/repositories".

Recommendation:
New host repository URI can look like : "
/plugins/kimchi/v<version>/host/repositories" , so that it is easy to
maintain REST API future enhancements at the same time do not brake some
body who is using the existing URI.

Note* Adding version in the  URI above is just an example and we could
place the version in the URI best possible way.
