Jest version 0.0.90, released on May 6, 2012, represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 0.0.89, released just days prior on May 3, 2012. Both versions describe the "Jest" package as a "JavaScriptational State Transfer" library, aimed at providing a JS restful API layer built upon Mongoose resources. Its design draws inspiration from Python's Tastypie framework.
The core dependencies remain consistent between the two versions, relying on sji, underscore, and express-resource for its fundamental operations. Similarly, the development dependencies, including express, api-easy, and mongoose, are unchanged, suggesting a focus on refining existing functionalities rather than introducing entirely new features. The author and repository details also remain identical with Ishai Jaffe listed as the author.
A notable difference is the absence of the optionalDependencies field in version 0.0.90, which existed as an empty object in version 0.0.89. This doesn't represent a feature removal, but rather a refactoring. Developers familiar with RESTful API design and seeking a Mongoose-centric approach might find Jest a suitable option, especially for projects leveraging the Express framework. The minimal delta between versions 0.0.89 and 0.0.90 suggests a stable, iterative development process centered on bug fixes and performance enhancements. The short time between versions indicates rapid development that is typical of early versions. Potential users should be mindful of the early versioning number and ensure it is stable enough for usage in production.
