Ulfius REST API test

This project implements a simple Book Management API using the Ulfius framework in C for the backend service and Python for testing the CRUD operations. The API allows creating, reading, updating, and deleting book records, which are stored in a file.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• GCC compiler for C
• Ulfius Framework for the web server and REST functionality
• Jansson library for JSON handling in C
• Python 3.x and requests library for testing

Installation

Backend API

1. Install Ulfius and Jansson Libraries: Follow the instructions from the official Ulfius documentation and Jansson documentation to install these libraries on your system.

2. Compile the C Application: Navigate to the project directory and compile the code using GCC. Make sure to link the Ulfius and Jansson libraries.

   gcc -o main main.c -lulfius -ljansson

Python Tests

1. Install Python 3.x: Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.

2. Install Requests Library: Use pip to install the requests library.

   pip install requests

Usage

To start the Book Management API, run the compiled binary:

./main

The API will start listening for HTTP requests on port 8080.

Testing

To test the CRUD operations, execute the Python script tests.py located in the tests directory. Make sure the API is running before executing the tests.

python tests.py

This script tests creating a new book, reading all books, updating a book, and deleting a book.
