I see <a href="https://github.com/docker/compose/pull/3535/files#diff-1d1516ea1e61cd8b44d000c578bbd0beR66" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/docker/compose/pull/3535/files#diff-1d1516ea1e61cd8b44d000c578bbd0beR66</a><br>
<br>
Would that be the primary API? Hard to tell what is the API there actually, haha. Is it the run() method?<br>
<br>
I was thinking more along the line that higgins could be a 'interpreter' of the same docker-compose format (or similar format); if the library that is being created takes a docker-compose file and turns it into a 'intermediate' version/format that'd be cool. The compiled version would then be 'executable' (and introspectable to) by say higgins (which could say traverse over that intermediate version and activate its own code to turn the intermediate versions primitives into reality), or a docker-compose service could or ...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What abou TOSCA?

<br>
Libcompose also seems to be targeted at a higher level library, from at least reading the summary, neither seem to be taking a compose yaml file, turning it into a intermediate format, exposing that intermediate format to others for introspection/execution (and also likely providing a default execution engine that understands that format) but instead both just provide an equivalent of:<br>

Which probably isn't the best API for something like a web-service that uses that same library to have.

Hello Stackers.<br>
<br>
<br>
As part of discussions around what Higgins is and what its mission there<br>
are were couple of you who mentioned docker-compose [1] and necessity of<br>
doing the same thing for Higgins but from scratch.<br>
<br>
I don't think that going that direction is the best way to spend<br>
development cycles. So, that's why i ask you to take a look at recent<br>
patchset submitted to docker-compose upstream [2] that makes this tool<br>
(initially designed as CLI) to become a library with Python API. The<br>
whole idea is to make docker-compose look similar to libcompose [3]<br>
(written on Go).<br>
<br>
If we need to utilize docker-compose features in Higgins i'd recommend<br>
to work on this with Docker community and convince them to land that<br>
patch to upstream.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please let me know.<br>
