RESTful Web API Design with Node.js

Description

Design and implement comprehensive RESTful solutions in Node.js About This BookDesign, implement, and route Node.js RESTful services with the Express framework moduleTest user-developed modules with Nodeunit and module mocking with SinonJSUse this practical guide to integrate MongoDB in your Node.js applicationWho This Book Is ForIf you are a web developer wanting to enrich your development skills to create scalable, server-side, RESTful applications based on the Node.js platform, this book is for you. You also need to be aware of HTTP communication concepts and should have a working knowledge of JavaScript. Knowledge of REST would be an added advantage but is definitely not a necessity.What You Will Learn Learn about NoSQL data stores and integrate MongoDB in your Node.js application with Mongoose Install, develop, and test your own Node.js user modules Eliminate third-party dependencies in your tests with mocking Comprehend the differences between an HTTP and RESTful application Optimize RESTful service URI routing with best practices Secure your services with NoSQL database integration within Node.js applications In DetailIn this era of cloud computing, every data provisioning solution is built in a scalable and fail-safe way. Thus, when building RESTful services, the right choice of the underlying platform is vital. Node.js, with its asynchronous, event-driven architecture, is just the right choice to build RESTful APIs.This book will be your step-by-step guide in the RESTful world of Node.js. It starts with the implementation of a simple HTTP handler application and follows its evolution to a completed RESTful service solution, which introduces you to the best practices in developing RESTful services.
