GTK-REST examples

This repository contains servers & clients to establish a plain text POST communication between them. Its main purpose was to research on various programming languages that may be of interest for both servers and GTK+ application development.

These packages were made and are intended to run on (GNU)Linux distributions, but some of them seem to work on Windows too.

Everything is licensed as public domain, so do whatever you want with it.

Usage

First clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/espectalll123/gtk-rest-examples.git

In order to execute an example, first check if you have their required dependencies:

• GTK+ 3.16 or newer
• node.js
• Gjs
  • LibSoup
• Julia 0.4
  • Merly.jl
  • Gtk.jl
  • Requests.jl
• Python 3.x (may also work with 2.x)
  • CherryPy
  • PyGObject
  • Requests
• Rust 1.5 or newer
• Valac 0.30 or newer
  • LibSoup

After that, cd to the folder with the programming language that you're intending to test. Then, setup and run the code:

Javascript

Server

npm install
sudo npm start

Client

gjs ./client.js

Julia

Server

sudo julia ./server.jl

Client

julia ./client.js

Python

Server

sudo python ./server.js

Client

python ./client.js

Rust

Server

cd server
sudo cargo build
sudo cargo run

Client

cd client
cargo build
cargo run

Vala

Client

valac --pkg libsoup-2.4 --pkg gtk+-3.0 client.vala
./client

If you want to run one of the servers without root permissions, just set the port in the source code.
