Delphi REST frameworks that run on Linux?

[David Schwartz 426]

Someone asked me recently if there are any REST frameworks for Delphi that run on Linux?

 

I know TMS XData doesn't (yet).

 

Are there any that do?

What is your definition of a "REST framework"?

[mvanrijnen 123]

Things like:
* RadServer 

* MARS 

 

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

Well, at least RADServer is available for Linux.

MARS is also (according to: MARS-Curiosity REST Library - Delphi-PRAXiS [en] (delphipraxis.net)) compatible with linux, it seems to work on all Delphi targets so.

The point of the topic is moot, as you’re wrong. 
TMS XData does support Linux.

TBH, I was talking with someone who asked if there are other REST libs I could use to build my service to run in Linux, and I really only know of a couple, which is why I asked.

Based on TMS Sparkle HTTP/HTPS server architecture, which provides:

• HTTP(s) server based on Windows http.sys stack

 

However, I got Holger's latest book and I see that it does talk about how to get around the Sparkle dependency on Windows and show how to deploy XData on Linux.

 

Sorry, I can't edit the original post at this point.

That's quite a list!

That is not a "workaround" nor it's a "Sparkle dependency on Windows". Sparkle offers multiple ways to create an HTTP server, using different frameworks/APIs: Indy, Web Broker, http.sys...

Of course, http.sys is a Windows kernel/API, so obviously it will only work on Windows. So if you want to create an HTTP server on Linux, you can't use http.sys, neither with XData nor any other framework in the known universe.

Well, however you want to describe it, my only real concern is that it's now possible to target services for linux hosts now. That's a Good Thing. 🙂
