Wish

a Node.js web service framework

What is it?

The Wish framework consists of three levels:

1. functional syntactical sugar which replaces nested callbacks with a chain of responsibility and tightly integrates SQL
2. a declarative DSL for rapid definition and implementation of hypermedia APIs
3. a module system which allows reuse of boilerplate such as user entities, authentication, authorization, and audit logging

Use the levels you like but ignore the others. Note that the higher levels depend upon the lower levels.

Core Edicts

1. Wish is pure Javascript.
2. Wish adheres strictly to REST and HATEOAS design principles.
3. Wish is Test-Driven.
4. Wish (will) use git-flow.
