Most Recent Version: Jester 1.5

  • Path prefixes can interpolate keys, such as those for scoped resources (e.g. ”/users/:user_id”)
  • Customization of all the URLs a model uses, such as its “show” URL, its “destroy” URL, etc.
  • Support for JSON callbacks (“JSONP”), allowing fetching of remote data if the API supports it
  • Renamed Base to Resource, and provided a scoped reference to it, Jester.Resource
  • Rewrite of object hierarchy, so objects returned from User.find are of class User
  • Models can fetch their skeleton from “new.xml” or “new.json” if passed “checkNew: true” on the call to Resource.model, instead of on each call to build
  • JSON responses will now have any date ending in “_at” or “_on” transformed into a Date value.
  • XML parser is only instantiated if a model is instantiated with an XML format

For complete release notes, see the announcement blog post.
