How to implement the REST API

General
1

Hi Guys,
I'm working to build a Zigbee Gateway using the node-red and Rpi3.
I have all those basic nodes done. I have storaged important parameters in the file and memory, and function commands defined.
At this moment I need to implement a REST API that can be hanlding all those things, DB files (JSON) , memory and command in the functions.

Someone can share w/ me the best way to implement a good REST API to my project?
If possible, please, share part of the code an articles necessary to my studies about how to implement it?

Best Regards,
Alex

Do you mean you want node-red to act as a web service providing the API to connected clients?

Hi Colin,
Yes, I want node-red to act as a web service to providing the API, as the server (node-red) to clients!

This might help:

If you are only serving locally, should work without issue, serving to the internet is a different story.

Isn't zigbee2mqtt not a better solution ?

Hi Krambriw,
It´s too similar, but I´m using another SoC, I really like Texas and CC25xx or CC26xx, but I´m using another SoC from NXP call JN5168. When I using it I got a higher power to implement any integration w/ another end-devices available on the market.
