Due to Github's determination to be the "world’s leading AI-powered developer platform" I will move my projects to Codeberg

PuREST JSON is a library for connecting Puredata (Pd) to HTTP services and encoding and decoding JSON data.

The library can issue GET, POST, PUT and DELETE statements, so consumation of RESTful services is possible, e.g. CouchDB.

About Puredata (From the official website)

Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole package very much a community effort.

[rest]

[oauth]

Installation from package repositories

Downloads are available via deken which is included in Pd since version 0.47. Packages for Debian and Ubuntu are available as pd-purest-json.

Downloads of development versions

For each commit, a build in Circle CI is triggered. These builds generate deken-like packages, that are available from https://cloud.residuum.org/index.php/s/380C60JAabnO7jk

The format for the files is <Circle-CI-job-number>_<Date-in-YYYY-MM-DD>_<dekenfilename>.

Those downloads may not work, but represent the current state of development.

How to build PuREST JSON

The library uses the template for Pd-extended. Drop the library in a new folder purest_json in the "external" path of the Pd-extended source code and run make in the folder. libcurl and json-c is needed.
