tern-tools / tern-web-api Goto Github PK

This is an initial attempt to add Web API to tern as discussed in tern-tools/tern#65 .

Here's how I think we should move towards making an API for tern, according to what we discussed in the last meeting:
Create a Django Application and turn the tern project into an installable django package. Django is a python based web-development framework which is known for its ORM. Django ORM provides backends to interact with different databases hosted locally or in some other container or on a completely different server. This allows us to directly skip Issues #862 #863, apart from other advantages that django provides to us.
Creating a Django Package from pure python will take some time and effort but will help us resolve many possible issues that may occur if we design our own backend, especially things like optimizations. I'm hoping to describe this in my GSOC Proposal too. I've already started some work on this and presently I'm trying to make an apt database schema to be able to use a relational database. Please let me know what you think.
