==========================================

|
Enable JSON support for N1KV REST calls
|
|
==========================================

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/cisco-n1kv-json-support
|
|
|
|
Need to enable Cisco N1KV plugin to accept REST API responses in JSON.
|
|
|
|
Problem description
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Currently, Cisco N1KV Neutron plugin and VSM (controller) communicate
|
|
using REST APIs. The VSM is capable of returning responses in XML and JSON.
|
|
However, the plugin handles only XML responses.
|
|
|
|
Proposed change
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
The proposed change is to use the Requests library to support handling of
|
|
REST API responses in JSON. The Requests library will replace the httplib2
|
|
library currently being used by the plugin.
