Let’s imagine we develop an API for an online video editor. Client sends JSON representing a video clip:
{
"title": "Tycho live @ KEXP",
"description": "Tycho performing live in the KEXP studio.",
"parts": [
{
"type": "image",
"resource": "logos/kexp.png,
"effect": {
"type": "fade_in",
"easing": "linear"
},
"duration": 5000
},
{
"type": "video",
"resource": "cuts/tycho_kexp_camera_02.mpeg",
"startFrom": 6052,
"duration": 14000
},
{
"type": "video",
"resource": "cuts/tycho_kexp_camera_04.mpeg",
"startFrom": 30232,
"duration": 32000,
"effect": {
"type": "overlay",
"effect": {
"type": "fade_in",
"easing": "swing"
},
"duration": 10000,
"resource": {
"type": "video",
"resource": "cuts/tycho_kexp_camera_01.mpeg",
"startFrom": 8323,
"duration": 3000
}
}
}
]
}
Of course, we have to deal with it like with any other form: filter, validate and save. Let’s have a MongoDB storage for example. Frontend support is not required, but error output must be proper.
What’s your ideas on how to implement it?
