Extendability guide

this page is still under construction.

Some things that can be customized are:

• The outgoing request, which consists of two things:
  • the request itself: the HTTP method, url, etc
  • construction of the request body.
• The incoming request
  • parsing the JSON before feeding it to the models for instantiation.

Generally, this customization can be done:

• Globally: for all your models at once
• Regionally: as specified per model
• Locally: different for actions within the same model.

First, before providing us with examples, some parts of the structure will be explained that is related to it.
