Create REST APIs with F#
f#webserverrest api

Is there any other frameworks than websharper to create REST api to serve javascript (angularjs/react) client?

Is Suave an option? It seemed that it is not possible to get typed parameters from the requests.

Requirements: typed parameters, JSON conversion, CORS

I'm not very familiar with web development but I wanted to try with F# to create REST service.

.

Hi Mikke,

It is very easy to write a REST API with Suave.IO and you can get typed parameters in variety of ways.

See for example how to use mapJson: [link:github.com]

Or pathScan :

let app = pathScan "/add/%d/%d" (fun (a,b) -> OK((a + b).ToString()))

Depending on your timescales, Freya ([link:github.com] might be a good option, although I'd be the first to say that it's still new and under development. However we are focusing heavily on being *great* for data/API based programming. If you wanted to try it out and see whether it fits for you, I'd be happy to do some work to help you get started and see what you think.

Yes, I have looked but that's only for the client side. I would like to create REST API-server with F#

For now, your best bet is likely Microsoft's WebAPI. Microsoft is in the middle of transitioning their web stack to a more lightweight, modern style, and WebAPI go there first. Here's an Visual Studio F# template extension for WebAPI 2.2 (and MVC 5).
