rack-smoke

Rack::Smoke allows you to expose Smoke sources and transcode them into JSON, XML or YAML.

• Pluggable caching, cache remote web services and rely on your own infrastructure
• Join Smoke sources together, reinterpret them, then offer them as a simple web service

Rack::Smoke gives you a bunch of HTML screens (found at /smoke) that outline the Smoke sources that are found within your current environment.

From there, you'll be able to see the formats that you can get the stream in, or if they require any additional query strings.

Smoke allows you to take single serve sources from around the web. Then it does a bunch of smart stuff like automagically transferring as gzip, request caching and understands the content that it gets back. YQL, Atom / RSS feeds, json and xml are all converted to ruby arrays.

Smoke-rack allows you to transcode that information and provide an API like layer of your own.

# config.ru
require 'rubygems'

# Ensure your app has some Smoke sources
require 'your-app'

require 'rack-smoke'
use Rack::Smoke

run Sinatra::Application

Then navigate to localhost:PORT/smoke to get a list of available sources

gem install rack-smoke

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
