The Genetic REST Console is a HTML+JS view designed to be served by RESTful services as a (content-negotiated) alternative to their native (JSON or XML) views.
It is not meant for end-users of the service, but rather for developers willing to debug or experiment with the service.
While equivalent functionalities can be obtained with external services or browser extensions, I believe that it is more convenient (and weby) to integrate it to the service.
In order to ease the deployment,
a script (bundle.py) is provided
to bundle the whole console into a single file.
See the issue tracker (and feel free to contribute) to suggest additional functionalities.
