Re: [Netconf] RESTCONF depth parameter

Thanks Andy.

In your example for depth=2 why is LIST "playlist" omitted. It is at the same level as CONTAINER "library" and "player" are. So I was thinking it will be part of depth=2 output for the example module that is being used in the draft.

GET /restconf/config/example-jukebox:jukebox?depth=2

     {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : {
          "library" : [null],

    "playlist": [null],   <<== Missing in your example for depth=2

          "player" : [null]
        }
      }

Thanks

Hi,

I was looking at the "depth" parameter example in RESTCONF draft version 2 in section 3.8.1. There they have an example that will retrieve 2 levels of configuration data nodes from "example-jukebox" module. And the result of retrieval is shown as:

      {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : {
          "library" : {
            "artist" : {
              "name" : "Foo Fighters"
            }
          },
          "player" : {
            "gap" : 0.5
          }
        }
      }




This example is wrong and needs to be fixed.
The depth parameter is affected by the decision to make
all YANG nodes be resources instead of just containers and lists.
The example did not get updated to adjust for this change.

The example will be clarified so the starting data is shown, so it is
clear what is begin filtered by the depth parameter:


GET /restconf/config/example-jukebox:jukebox

      {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : {
          "library" : {
            "artist" : {
              "name" : "Foo Fighters"
            }
          },
          "player" : {
            "gap" : 0.5
          }
        }
      }

GET /restconf/config/example-jukebox:jukebox?depth=1

     {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : [null]
     }


GET /restconf/config/example-jukebox:jukebox?depth=2

     {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : {
          "library" : [null],
          "player" : [null]
        }
      }


GET /restconf/config/example-jukebox:jukebox?depth=3

     {
        "example-jukebox:jukebox" : {
          "library" : {
            "artist" : [null]
          },
          "player" : {
            "gap" : 0.5
          }
        }
      }


My question is since both containers and lists are defined as resources then why "list playlist" is not included in the result shown above ?

Will an error be returned when level is less then 1 ?


yes

Also I will appreciate if you can provide sample of what will be returned when depth is 1 and 3.


Thanks
