{
  port: 5002,
  otherThing: {
    port: 2005
  }

Let's say this is our config for amazing_cow_server. OK! Lets save it in Pohjanmaa.

POST /amazing_cow_server
// request body follows
{
  "port": 5002,
  "otherThing": {
    "port": 2005
  }
}

GET /amazing_cow_server

response:
{
  "port": 5002,
  "otherThing": {
    "port": 2005
  }
}

GET /amazing_cow_server/port

response:
5002

What about a nested setting:

GET /amazing_cow_server/otherThing.port

response:
2005

PUT /amazing_cow_server/port
// request body follows
10501

Awesome! What about a nested setting?

PUT /amazing_cow_server/otherThing.port
// request body follows
20502

DELETE /amazing_cow_server/otherThing.port

>> 204 (no content)

PUT /amazing_cow_server
// request body follows
{ "cows": 500 }

POST /_default
// request body follows
{ "aws-credentials": { "super-secret-stuff": "johanna" } }

Awesome! Now when I get one of those other configs we created, I get that stuff too!

GET /amazing_cow_server

response
{
  "cows": 500,
  "aws-credentials": {
    "super-secret-stuff": "johanna"
  }
}

Outstanding. And now you know how to use Pohjanmaa! Pretty sweet, huh?
