Does Snap support RESTful API features?

[daniel2008_12]

Well, we can use "URL & split" to get/parse https/http responses. Does any block can be used to handle RESTful APIs?

How to post a json list to Restful server with snap? quite confused.

[snapenilk]

json of list (same block as length of list)
I think you put the json in the send (internally called payload) parameter.

Well, restful server prints: "I (8813) http: Light control: a List [3 elements]", actually "a List [3 elements]", so it seems NOT a json string. Any way to convert list to json object?

List in Snap seems OK, kind of a table.

Really weird , why set channel5 to 1500 is a string???? not int?

Is there any way to convert it to int?

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

A way to convert a string to number is by using any math block in place of the value. I personally would not do it in snap, but instead have the server convert the string to a number. That way you don't have to rely on snap sending the correct data type.

Yeah, HTTP server has added type check.
