(still in development)
dead simple but flexible restful api framework,
~~ for modern back-end web development of your dreams

1. what is rest ?
2. how hacks do ?
   each time you run hack generate -api resources, this is going to implement a full crud restful api for resources as well as search and pagination stuff! thanks to pony orm flexible Set syntax, you can easily add one-to-many(many-to-many) relationships and hacks will automatically generate relationship apis between resources!

hacks apps are capable of full-duplex realtime communication between the client and the server using socketIO. this means that a client can maintain a persistent connection to a hacks backend service, and messages can be sent from client to server (AJAX) or from server to client (websocket) at any time.

• on server side, hacks integrate flask-socketIO
• and on front-end, hacks use jinja2 template that binding socketio service

• hacks automatically generate resources apis, but you can get complete control by editing apis configuration. you can decide which data user should post from or return as json format; you can also determine which api user can access and set up your own authentication policy!

• flask is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions.
  well, hacks is built on top of flask! so feel free to use any great flask extensions !

• hacks based on DRY idea. Since I do not want repeat myself, and try to sum up python web development procedure, so hacks appeared!
• not only that, hacks use the DRY idea for web development, hacks has several useful built-in decorators help you reduce duplication. yes, decorators is awesome!

$ hack generate -api users

• hacks framework

Currently, Hacks simply generate a prototype api, which means the api did not have:

1. authentication mechanism
2. relationship between each api resource,
3. rate limit
4. http caching
5. user side config
6. invoke your own code

and obviously, it not ready to go into production;
