A bit more detail please!

Sure. Json-db is a fully RESTful json-only database. It stores items in collections, each collection can be seen as an JSON array.

List All

With the basic namespace, a collection can be accessed this way:

GET /node-js/collection

This will respond something like this

[{
  "foo":"bar",
  "_id","224810f50e57edef3bc048297e81"
}]

Push Item

To push a new row to this collection, simply send a POST with some JSON in it.

POST /node-js/collection
{"foo":"bar"}

Followed by this response

{"push": {
  "foo":"bar",
  "_id","224810f50e57edef3bc048297e81"
}}
