stashdb v0.7.0

stashdb

A REST based data store that syncs

Features

• Supports PUT and GET of REST resources ("files") of any content type.
• Stores everything in RAM for fast access.
• Stores differential history to enable syncing of collections.

Basics

/some/resource

If you PUT /some/resource, stashdb will store the resouce you have provided and return it verbatim on any subsequent GET with the same path.

/some/collection/

If you PUT /some/collection/resource, the collection /some/collection is created automatically for you (and all intermediary collections).

After this, you can iterate on all resources in the collection like this:

GET /some/collection/?get

This will fetch the first resource from the collection and return a next link to the next available resource.

Specifically, following the next link can return the following:

• The Name header has been set
  • HTTP 200: Resource available: the resource with the provided name is returned.
  • HTTP 204: Resource gone: the resource with the provided name has been deleted.
• The Name header is missing
  • HTTP 204: No more resources: there is no more resources in this collection.

In all three cases above, the service will always return a next link. In the case where there is no more resources, following the next link may return a new resource that was added since the request to the server that returned the link.
