REST Service - fdstevex/BackendKit GitHub Wiki

Just some thoughts on the REST service that I'd like to build.

The goal is to provide a schema-less client API, somewhat similar to Apple's CloudKit. A client should be able to submit a JSON object and receive an ID that they can use to request the same object back. Clients should be able to create containers, add objects to those containers, enumerate the objects in the containers, and perform queries.

And I'd like the actual data store to be MySQL, which may seem like an odd choice given solutions like MongoDB or CouchDB but fits BackendKit's goal for commodity hosting.
