api

OMB is built on a pseudo-Restful API, it is currently limited to accepting input from http-encoded form POST.

This is good because we have not implemented lots of different verbs, instead most actions are accomplished with the standard get() put() post() and delete() functions.

The back-end is compatible with Rails form templates, so a <input name="post[title]" /> will update the title field of the posts table.

The action is set like this: <input type="hidden" name="method" value="get/put/post/delete">

OAuth and OpenID are used for authentication, we are working on an application architecture for our OpenAppStore.com project which will include an easy way to register and discover XRDS endpoints and allow Apps to work site-to-site the same way the OpenMicroBlogger.org specification works.
