        *******

        An Application object represents a web service described by a WADL
        file.

        >>> import os
        >>> import sys
        >>> import pkg_resources
        >>> from wadllib.application import Application

        The first argument to the Application constructor is the URL at which
        the WADL file was found. The second argument may be raw WADL markup.

        >>> wadl_string = pkg_resources.resource_string(
        ...     'wadllib.tests.data', 'launchpad-wadl.xml')
        >>> wadl = Application("http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/", wadl_string)

        Or the second argument may be an open filehandle containing the markup.

        >>> def application_for(filename, url="http://www.example.com/"):
        ...    wadl_stream = pkg_resources.resource_stream(
        ...    'wadllib.tests.data', filename)
        ...    return Application(url, wadl_stream)
        >>> wadl = application_for("launchpad-wadl.xml",
        ...                        "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/")


        ===============
        Link navigation
        ===============

        The preferred technique for finding a resource is to start at one of
        the resources defined in the WADL file, and follow links. This code
        retrieves the definition of the root resource.

        >>> service_root = wadl.get_resource_by_path('')
        >>> service_root.url
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/'
        >>> service_root.type_url
        '#service-root'

        The service root resource supports GET.

        >>> get_method = service_root.get_method('get')
        >>> get_method.id
        'service-root-get'

        >>> get_method = service_root.get_method('GET')
        >>> get_method.id
        'service-root-get'

        If we want to invoke this method, we send a GET request to the service
        root URL.

        >>> get_method.name
        'get'
        >>> get_method.build_request_url()
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/'

        The WADL description of a resource knows which representations are
        available for that resource. In this case, the server root resource
        has a a JSON representation, and it defines parameters like
        'people_collection_link', a link to a list of people in Launchpad. We
        should be able to use the get_parameter() method to get the WADL
        definition of the 'people_collection_link' parameter and find out more
        about it--for instance, is it a link to another resource?

        >>> link_name = 'people_collection_link'
        >>> link_parameter = service_root.get_parameter(link_name)
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        NoBoundRepresentationError: Resource is not bound to any representation, and no media media type was specified.

        Oops. The code has no way to know whether 'people_collection_link' is
        a parameter of the JSON representation or some other kind of
        representation. We can pass a media type to get_parameter and let it
        know which representation the parameter lives in.

        >>> link_parameter = service_root.get_parameter(
        ...     link_name, 'application/json')
        >>> link_parameter.get_value()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        NoBoundRepresentationError: Resource is not bound to any representation.

        Oops again. The parameter is available, but it has no value, because
        there's no actual data associated with the resource. The browser can
        look up the description of the GET method to make an actual GET
        request to the service root, and bind the resulting representation to
        the WADL description of the service root.

        You can't bind just any representation to a WADL resource description.
        It has to be of a media type understood by the WADL description.

        >>> service_root.bind('<html>Some HTML</html>', 'text/html')
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        UnsupportedMediaTypeError: This resource doesn't define a representation for media type text/html

        The WADL description of the service root resource has a JSON
        representation. Here it is.

        >>> json_representation = service_root.get_representation_definition(
        ...     'application/json')
        >>> json_representation.media_type
        'application/json'

        We already have a WADL representation of the service root resource, so
        let's try binding it to that JSON representation. We use test JSON
        data from a file to simulate the result of a GET request to the
        service root.

        >>> def get_testdata(filename):
        ...     return pkg_resources.resource_string(
        ...         'wadllib.tests.data', filename + '.json')

        >>> def bind_to_testdata(resource, filename):
        ...     return resource.bind(get_testdata(filename), 'application/json')

        The return value is a new Resource object that's "bound" to that JSON
        test data.

        >>> bound_service_root = bind_to_testdata(service_root, 'root')
        >>> sorted(bound_service_root.parameter_names())
        ['bugs_collection_link', 'people_collection_link']
        >>> [method.id for method in bound_service_root.method_iter]
        ['service-root-get']


        Now the bound resource object has a JSON representation, and now
        'people_collection_link' makes sense. We can follow the
        'people_collection_link' to a new Resource object.

        >>> link_parameter = bound_service_root.get_parameter(link_name)
        >>> link_parameter.style
        'plain'
        >>> link_parameter.get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people'
        >>> personset_resource = link_parameter.linked_resource
        >>> personset_resource.__class__
        <class 'wadllib.application.Resource'>
        >>> personset_resource.url
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people'
        >>> personset_resource.type_url
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#people'

        This new resource is a collection of people.

        >>> personset_resource.id
        'people'

        The "collection of people" resource supports a standard GET request as
        well as a special GET and an overloaded POST. The get_method() method
        is used to retrieve WADL definitions of the possible HTTP requests you
        might make. Here's how to get the WADL definition of the standard GET
        request.

        >>> get_method = personset_resource.get_method('get')
        >>> get_method.id
        'people-get'

        The method name passed into get_method() is treated case-insensitively.

        >>> personset_resource.get_method('GET').id
        'people-get'

        To invoke the special GET request, the client sets the 'ws.op' query
        parameter to the fixed string 'find'.

        >>> find_method = personset_resource.get_method(
        ...     query_params={'ws.op' : 'findPerson'})
        >>> find_method.id
        'people-findPerson'

        Given an end-user's values for the non-fixed parameters, it's possible
        to get the URL that should be used to invoke the method.

        >>> find_method.build_request_url(text='foo')
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people?text=foo&ws.op=findPerson'

        >>> find_method.build_request_url({'ws.op' : 'findPerson', 'text' : 'bar'})
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people?text=bar&ws.op=findPerson'

        An error occurs if the end-user gives an incorrect value for a fixed
        parameter value, or omits a required parameter.

        >>> find_method.build_request_url()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: No value for required parameter 'text'

        >>> find_method.build_request_url(
        ...     {'ws.op' : 'findAPerson', 'text' : 'foo'})
        ... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: Value 'findAPerson' for parameter 'ws.op' conflicts
        with fixed value 'findPerson'

        To invoke the overloaded POST request, the client sets the 'ws.op'
        query variable to the fixed string 'newTeam':

        >>> create_team_method = personset_resource.get_method(
        ...     'post', representation_params={'ws.op' : 'newTeam'})
        >>> create_team_method.id
        'people-newTeam'

        findMethod() returns None when there's no WADL method matching the
        name or the fixed parameters.

        >>> print personset_resource.get_method('nosuchmethod')
        None

        >>> print personset_resource.get_method(
        ...     'post', query_params={'ws_op' : 'nosuchparam'})
        None

        Let's say the browser makes a GET request to the person set resource
        and gets back a representation. We can bind that representation to our
        description of the person set resource.

        >>> bound_personset = bind_to_testdata(personset_resource, 'personset')
        >>> bound_personset.get_parameter("start").get_value()
        0
        >>> bound_personset.get_parameter("total_size").get_value()
        63

        We can keep following links indefinitely, so long as we bind to a
        representation to each resource as we get it, and use the
        representation to find the next link.

        >>> next_page_link = bound_personset.get_parameter("next_collection_link")
        >>> next_page_link.get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people?ws.start=5&ws.size=5'
        >>> page_two = next_page_link.linked_resource
        >>> bound_page_two = bind_to_testdata(page_two, 'personset-page2')
        >>> bound_page_two.url
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people?ws.start=5&ws.size=5'
        >>> bound_page_two.get_parameter("start").get_value()
        5
        >>> bound_page_two.get_parameter("next_collection_link").get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/people?ws.start=10&ws.size=5'

        Let's say the browser makes a POST request that invokes the 'newTeam'
        named operation. The response will include a number of HTTP headers,
        including 'Location', which points the way to the newly created team.

        >>> headers = { 'Location' : 'http://api.launchpad.dev/~newteam' }
        >>> response = create_team_method.response.bind(headers)
        >>> location_parameter = response.get_parameter('Location')
        >>> location_parameter.get_value()
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/~newteam'
        >>> new_team = location_parameter.linked_resource
        >>> new_team.url
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/~newteam'
        >>> new_team.type_url
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#team'

        ======================
        Resource instantiation
        ======================

        If you happen to have the URL to an object lying around, and you know
        its type, you can construct a Resource object directly instead of
        by following links.

        >>> from wadllib.application import Resource
        >>> limi_person = Resource(wadl, "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi",
        ...     "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#person")
        >>> sorted([method.id for method in limi_person.method_iter])[:3]
        ['person-acceptInvitationToBeMemberOf', 'person-addMember', 'person-declineInvitationToBeMemberOf']

        >>> bound_limi = bind_to_testdata(limi_person, 'person-limi')
        >>> sorted(bound_limi.parameter_names())[:3] # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
        ['admins_collection_link', 'confirmed_email_addresses_collection_link',
        'date_created']
        >>> languages_link = bound_limi.get_parameter("languages_collection_link")
        >>> languages_link.get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi/languages'

        You can bind a Resource to a representation when you create it.

        >>> limi_data = get_testdata('person-limi')
        >>> bound_limi = Resource(
        ...     wadl, "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi",
        ...     "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#person", limi_data,
        ...     "application/json")
        >>> bound_limi.get_parameter("languages_collection_link").get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi/languages'

        By default the representation is treated as a string and processed
        according to the media type you pass into the Resource constructor. If
        you've already processed the representation, pass in False for the
        'representation_needs_processing' argument.

        >>> import simplejson
        >>> processed_limi_data = simplejson.loads(unicode(limi_data))
        >>> bound_limi = Resource(wadl, "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi",
        ...     "http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#person", processed_limi_data,
        ...     "application/json", False)
        >>> bound_limi.get_parameter("languages_collection_link").get_value()
        u'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/~limi/languages'

        Most of the time, the representation of a resource is of the type
        you'd get by sending a standard GET to that resource. If that's not
        the case, you can specify a RepresentationDefinition as the
        'representation_definition' argument to bind() or the Resource
        constructor, to show what the representation really looks like. Here's
        an example.

        There's a method on a person resource such as bound_limi that's
        identified by a distinctive query argument: ws.op=getMembersByStatus.

        >>> method = bound_limi.get_method(
        ...     query_params={'ws.op' : 'findPathToTeam'})

        Invoke this method with a GET request and you'll get back a page from
        a list of people.

        >>> people_page_repr_definition = (
        ...     method.response.get_representation_definition('application/json'))
        >>> people_page_repr_definition.tag.attrib['href']
        'http://api.launchpad.dev/beta/#person-page'

        As it happens, we have a page from a list of people to use as test data.

        >>> people_page_repr = get_testdata('personset')

        If we bind the resource to the result of the method invocation as
        happened above, we don't be able to access any of the parameters we'd
        expect. wadllib will think the representation is of type
        'person-full', the default GET type for bound_limi.

        >>> bad_people_page = bound_limi.bind(people_page_repr)
        >>> print bad_people_page.get_parameter('total_size')
        None

        Since we don't actually have a 'person-full' representation, we won't
        be able to get values for the parameters of that kind of
        representation.

        >>> bad_people_page.get_parameter('name').get_value()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        KeyError: 'name'

        So that's a dead end. *But*, if we pass the correct representation
        type into bind(), we can access the parameters associated with a
        'person-page' representation.

        >>> people_page = bound_limi.bind(
        ...     people_page_repr,
        ...     representation_definition=people_page_repr_definition)
        >>> people_page.get_parameter('total_size').get_value()
        63

        If you invoke the method and ask for a media type other than JSON, you
        won't get anything.

        >>> print method.response.get_representation_definition('text/html')
        None

        Data type conversion
        ====================

        The values of date and dateTime parameters are automatically converted to
        Python datetime objects.

        >>> data_type_wadl = application_for('data-types-wadl.xml')
        >>> service_root = data_type_wadl.get_resource_by_path('')

        >>> representation = simplejson.dumps(
        ...     {'a_date': '2007-10-20',
        ...      'a_datetime': '2005-06-06T08:59:51.619713+00:00'})
        >>> bound_root = service_root.bind(representation, 'application/json')

        >>> bound_root.get_parameter('a_date').get_value()
        datetime.datetime(2007, 10, 20, 0, 0)
        >>> bound_root.get_parameter('a_datetime').get_value() # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
        datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 6, 8, ...)

        A 'date' field can include a timestamp, and a 'datetime' field can
        omit one. wadllib will turn both into datetime objects.

        >>> representation = simplejson.dumps(
        ...     {'a_date': '2005-06-06T08:59:51.619713+00:00',
        ...      'a_datetime': '2007-10-20'})
        >>> bound_root = service_root.bind(representation, 'application/json')

        >>> bound_root.get_parameter('a_datetime').get_value()
        datetime.datetime(2007, 10, 20, 0, 0)
        >>> bound_root.get_parameter('a_date').get_value() # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
        datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 6, 8, ...)

        If a date or dateTime parameter has a null value, you get None. If the
        value is a string that can't be parsed to a datetime object, you get a
        ValueError.

        >>> representation = simplejson.dumps(
        ...     {'a_date': 'foo', 'a_datetime': None})
        >>> bound_root = service_root.bind(representation, 'application/json')
        >>> bound_root.get_parameter('a_date').get_value()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: foo
        >>> print bound_root.get_parameter('a_datetime').get_value()
        None

        =======================
        Representation creation
        =======================

        You must provide a representation when invoking certain methods. The
        representation() method helps you build one without knowing the
        details of how a representation is put together.

        >>> create_team_method.build_representation(
        ...     display_name='Joe Bloggs', name='joebloggs')
        ('application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'display_name=Joe+Bloggs&ws.op=newTeam&name=joebloggs')

        The return value of build_representation is a 2-tuple containing the
        media type of the built representation, and the string representation
        itself. Along with the resource's URL, this is all you need to send
        the representation to a web server.

        >>> bound_limi.get_method('patch').build_representation(name='limi2')
        ('application/json', '{"name": "limi2"}')

        Representations may require values for certain parameters.

        >>> create_team_method.build_representation()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: No value for required parameter 'display_name'

        >>> bound_limi.get_method('put').build_representation(name='limi2')
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: No value for required parameter 'mugshot_link'

        Some representations may safely include binary data.

        >>> binary_stream = pkg_resources.resource_stream(
        ...     'wadllib.tests.data', 'multipart-binary-wadl.xml')
        >>> binary_wadl = Application(
        ...     "http://www.example.com/", binary_stream)
        >>> service_root = binary_wadl.get_resource_by_path('')

        >>> method = service_root.get_method('post', 'multipart/form-data')
        >>> media_type, doc = method.build_representation(

        Options
        =======

        Some parameters take values from a predefined list of options.

        >>> option_wadl = application_for('options-wadl.xml')
        >>> definitions = option_wadl.representation_definitions
        >>> service_root = option_wadl.get_resource_by_path('')
        >>> definition = definitions['service-root-json']
        >>> param = definition.params(service_root)[0]

        has_options
        >>> sorted([option.value for option in param.options])
        ['Value 1', 'Value 2']

        Such parameters cannot take values that are not in the list.

        >>> definition.validate_param_values(
        ...     [param], {'has_options': 'Value 1'})
        {'has_options': 'Value 1'}

        Error conditions
        ================

        You'll get None if you try to look up a nonexistent resource.

        >>> print wadl.get_resource_by_path('nosuchresource')
        None

        You'll get an exception if you try to look up a nonexistent resource
        type.

        >>> print wadl.get_resource_type('#nosuchtype')
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        KeyError: 'No such XML ID: "#nosuchtype"'

        You'll get None if you try to look up a method whose parameters don't
        match any defined method.

        >>> print bound_limi.get_method(
        ...     'post', representation_params={ 'foo' : 'bar' })
        None
