Bridge PV to REST and WebSocket in Python

["Wang, Lin via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Dear all,

At CSNS, epics-rest-ws has been developed and shared in the following link,

https://github.com/wanglin86769/epics-rest-ws

This project is inspired by weiss [1] and pvws [2], but adds REST API functionality. In our use cases, a simple REST pvget is often sufficient, as WebSockets can be a bit too heavy for clients in such scenarios.

Currently, it is suited for small-scale PV applications. Tests show that it can handle either 1000 PVs at 10Hz or 5000 PVs at 1Hz.

For more details, please refer to the GitHub link above.

Regards,

Lin
