Overview of this book

When it comes to learning and using a new language you need an effective guide to be by your side when things get rough. For Clojure developers, these recipes have everything you need to take on everything this language offers. This book is divided into three high impact sections. The first section gives you an introduction to live programming and best practices. We show you how to interact with your connections by manipulating, transforming, and merging collections. You’ll learn how to work with macros, protocols, multi-methods, and transducers. We’ll also teach you how to work with languages such as Java, and Scala. The next section deals with intermediate-level content and enhances your Clojure skills, here we’ll teach you concurrency programming with Clojure for high performance. We will provide you with advanced best practices, tips on Clojure programming, and show you how to work with Clojure while developing applications. In the final section you will learn how to test, deploy and analyze websocket behavior when your app is deployed in the cloud. Finally, we will take you through DevOps. Developing with Clojure has never been easier with these recipes by your side!

Quickly create a REST API with Liberator


Liberator is a Clojure library for developing resources for REST web services. REST is an abbreviation for Representational State Transfer and it's an architectural style for designing web network applications.

Liberator was inspired by Erlang's Webmachine. Webmachine was developed by Justin Sheehy, who is the CTO of Basho Technologies, has developed Riak. Webmachine is a RESTful toolkit for writing well-behaved HTTP applications and helping developers to handle the complexities of an HTTP-based application.

Similarly, using Liberator makes web API developments simpler but provides HTTP rich features such as content negotiation and caching.

Getting ready

Before we learn Liberator, we will create a new project named liberator-example. To do this, use lein new to create a new Clojure project:

$ lein new liberator-example 

Then, we will modify the generated project.clj to make use of Liberator. In addition to a Liberator library, we need the ring and compojure...
