Public API's and Interfaces

Currently, GeoNode has no public API except for the OGC services provided by GeoServer and GeoNetwork. However, developers extending GeoNode need to be able to work against a stable API.

This roadmap item is to improve, polish, and document API's for features around security, search, metadata editing, and the creation and upload of new layers and maps.

Discussion

These API's should be REST interfaces or, when appropriate, adherent to an open standard. For example, OAuth and OpenID are possible standards to use for the security API.

Critical to these public API's will be providing the 'handshakes' necessary for the Esri ArcGIS plug-in, that should allow ArcGIS to work with GeoNode layers as it would any any other layer.
