David M. Lee	c9a3d4562d	Update events to use Swagger 1.3 subtyping, and related aftermath ... This patch started with the simple idea of changing the /events data model to be more sane. The original model would send out events like: { "stasis_start": { "args": [], "channel": { ... } } } The event discriminator was the field name instead of being a value in the object, due to limitations in how Swagger 1.1 could model objects. While technically sufficient in communicating event information, it was really difficult to deal with in terms of client side JSON handling. This patch takes advantage of a proposed extension[1] to Swagger which allows type variance through the use of a discriminator field. This had a domino effect that made this a surprisingly large patch. [1]: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wordnik-api/EC3rGajE0os/ey_5dBI_jWcJ In changing the models, I also had to change the swagger_model.py processor so it can handle the type discriminator and subtyping. I took that a big step forward, and using that information to generate an ari_model module, which can validate a JSON object against the Swagger model. The REST and WebSocket generators were changed to take advantage of the validators. If compiled with AST_DEVMODE enabled, JSON objects that don't match their corresponding models will not be sent out. For REST API calls, a 500 Internal Server response is sent. For WebSockets, the invalid JSON message is replaced with an error message. Since this took over about half of the job of the existing JSON generators, and the .to_json virtual function on messages took over the other half, I reluctantly removed the generators. The validators turned up all sorts of errors and inconsistencies in our data models, and the code. These were cleaned up, with checks in the code generator avoid some of the consistency problems in the future. * The model for a channel snapshot was trimmed down to match the information sent via AMI. Many of the field being sent were not useful in the general case. * The model for a bridge snapshot was updated to be more consistent with the other ARI models. Another impact of introducing subtyping was that the swagger-codegen documentation generator was insufficient (at least until it catches up with Swagger 1.2). I wanted it to be easier to generate docs for the API anyways, so I ported the wiki pages to use the Asterisk Swagger generator. In the process, I was able to clean up many of the model links, which would occasionally give inconsistent results on the wiki. I also added error responses to the wiki docs, making the wiki documentation more complete. Finally, since Stasis-HTTP will now be named Asterisk REST Interface (ARI), any new functions and files I created carry the ari_ prefix. I changed a few stasis_http references to ari where it was non-intrusive and made sense.

David M. Lee	1c21b8575b	This patch adds a RESTful HTTP interface to Asterisk. ... The API itself is documented using Swagger, a lightweight mechanism for documenting RESTful API's using JSON. This allows us to use swagger-ui to provide executable documentation for the API, generate client bindings in different languages, and generate a lot of the boilerplate code for implementing the RESTful bindings. The API docs live in the rest-api/ directory. The RESTful bindings are generated from the Swagger API docs using a set of Mustache templates. The code generator is written in Python, and uses Pystache. Pystache has no dependencies, and be installed easily using pip. Code generation code lives in rest-api-templates/. The generated code reduces a lot of boilerplate when it comes to handling HTTP requests. It also helps us have greater consistency in the REST API.
