XMC NBI GenericNbiClient (Rust)

GenericNbiClient sends a query to the GraphQL-based API provided by the Northbound Interface (NBI) of Extreme Management Center (XMC) and prints the raw JSON response to stdout.

Notice: This project has surfaced as a proof of concept and is not maintained anymore. If you need a production ready NBI client, please refer to the Go version of GenericNbiClient.

Branches

This project uses two defined branches:

• master is the primary development branch. Code within master may be broken at any time.
• stable is reserved for code that compiles without errors and is tested. Track stable if you just want to use the software.

Other branches, for example for developing specific features, may be created and deleted at any time.

Compiling

Use cargo run to build (with debug information) and run the tool directly or cargo build --release to compile an optimized binary without debug information.

Tested with cargo 1.48.0 / rustc 1.48.0.
