# ApiClient prototype This is a prototype implementation of an ApiClient library for the ConfigDB, written in C++. It is designed to work as a [itk-felix-sw](https://gitlab.cern.ch/itk-felix-sw/itk-felix-sw/) package. # Minimal working product v0.1 v0.1 demonstrates the basic functionality of fetching example module configurations. The flow is as follows: - An application (e.g. a test program) uses the ConfigDBInterface class to request module configurations. - The ConfigDBInterface uses the ApiClient to send HTTP requests to the API server. - The ApiClient uses the HttpClient to perform the actual HTTP communication. - The HttpClient uses an underlying HTTP library (e.g., libcurl) to send requests and receive responses. - The received JSON responses are parsed back into C++ data structures using nlohmann::json. Both directions are possible: C++ -> JSON (for requests) and JSON -> C++ (for responses). The corresponding test fastAPI server: https://gitlab.cern.ch/flhaslbe/testFastApi/-/tree/0.1?ref_type=tags
