Jest, a JavaScriptational State Transfer library designed to streamline the creation of RESTful APIs with Mongoose, has released version 0.0.80. This update follows the previous stable version, 0.0.79, offering developers a familiar foundation for building robust API layers, inspired by Python's Tastypie.
Both versions share a core set of dependencies, crucial for the library's functionality. These include sji, underscore, and express-resource, highlighting the library's reliance on established JavaScript utilities and Express.js conventions for resource management. The development dependencies, express, api-easy, and mongoose, indicate the tools used for testing and integrating with MongoDB.
The primary difference between version 0.0.80 and 0.0.79 lies in their release dates. Version 0.0.80 was published in March 2012, whereas version 0.0.79 was released in April 2012. Note that the later version came earlier in time. This possibly indicates a bug-fix release or similar.
Developers looking to leverage Jest for creating Mongoose-backed APIs will find both versions useful. The library's focus on simplifying RESTful API development, combined with its dependency on well-known packages, makes it an accessible choice for those familiar with the JavaScript ecosystem. The fact that the dependency list between the 2 versions does not change can allow the user to freely choose between them. If bug were discovered on version 0.0.80, the user might choose to go back to version 0.0.79.
