api: provide api definition over api
This patch allows a client to bootstrap itself by downloading the
JSON API definitions over the API itself.
This patch enables it for Python (probably need a dynamic language).
Call VPPApiClient with the new bootstrapapi=True parameter.
Example (Python):
from vpp_papi import VPPApiClient
vpp = VPPApiClient(bootstrapapi=True)
rv = vpp.connect("foobar")
assert rv == 0
print(f'SHOW VERSION: {vpp.api.show_version()}')
vpp.disconnect()
Type: feature
