948240 - Reformat zippy responses to do the right thing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Payments/Refunds, defect, P4)

Description

I think solitude should provide a standard interface to the back ends. One example is getting a list of objects. In solitude you get the standard tastypie response, rather like the firefox marketplace api.

http://firefox-marketplace-api.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/overview.html#responses

If you do a list against the solitude reference implementation, it passes it through to zippy and then passes it straight back. What zippy returns is what you get.

This means nice APis like get_object in curling no longer work. I'm thinking that solitude should reformat responses so that responses from solitude are always consistent, forever.

I'm going to vote for solitude to reformat into the right interface so its always consistent.
