Build REST server with MARS Curiosity is very easy. To run a simple REST server just create a new Console Application and use the following code:

program Mars1;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
  System.SysUtils,
  MARS.Core.Engine,
  MARS.http.Server.Indy,
  MARS.mORMotJWT.Token,
  MARS.Core.MessageBodyWriters,
  MARS.Core.Attributes,
  MARS.Core.MediaType,
  MARS.Core.Registry;

type
  [Path('helloworld')]
  THelloWorldResource = class
  public
    [GET, Produces(TMediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)]
    function SayHelloWorld: string;
  end;

function THelloWorldResource.SayHelloWorld: string;
begin
  Result := 'Hello World! Here is MARS Curiosity ...';
end;

var
  FEngine: MARS.Core.Engine.TMARSEngine;
  FServer: MARS.http.Server.Indy.TMARShttpServerIndy;
begin
  // ----------------------------------
  // Register a resource class
  MARS.Core.Registry.TMARSResourceRegistry.Instance.
    RegisterResource<THelloWorldResource>;
  // ----------------------------------
  // Build and configure the engine
  FEngine := MARS.Core.Engine.TMARSEngine.Create;
  FEngine.BasePath := '/rest';
  FEngine.Port := 8080;
  FEngine.AddApplication('DefaultAPI', '/default', ['*.THelloWorldResource']);
  FServer := MARS.http.Server.Indy.TMARShttpServerIndy.Create(FEngine);
  // ----------------------------------
  // Run the REST server
  FServer.Active := True;
  Writeln ('Server is running ...');
  Write ('Press Enter to stop ...');
  Readln;
  // ----------------------------------
  // Close the server
  FServer.Active := False;
  FreeAndNil(FServer);
  FreeAndNil(FEngine);
end.

Contribution

It would be great if you would like to support this project. It's quite easy and you can became better Gitter then.

Thanks

Most of the code has been written by the author (Andrea Magni) with some significant contributions by Nando Dessena, Stefan Glienke and Davide Rossi. Some of my customers actually act as beta testers and early adopters. I want to thank them all for the trust and effort.
