REST API Server for Swagger Petstore

Overview

This API Server was generated by the swagger-codegen project. It uses the Pistache Framework.

Files organization

The Pistache C++ REST server generator creates three folders:

• api: This folder contains the handlers for each method specified in the swagger definition. Every handler extracts the path and body parameters (if any) from the requests and tries to parse and possibly validate them. Once this step is completed, the main API class calls the corresponding abstract method that should be implemented by the developer (a basic implementation is provided under the impl folder)
• impl: As written above, the implementation folder contains, for each API, the corresponding implementation class, which extends the main API class and implements the abstract methods. Every method receives the path and body parameters as constant reference variables and a reference to the response object, that should be filled with the right response and sent at the end of the method with the command: response.send(returnCode, responseBody, [mimeType])
• model: This folder contains the corresponding class for every object schema found in the swagger specification.

The main folder contains also a file with a main that can be used to start the server. Of course, is you should customize this file based on your needs
