Lately I have been resurecting an old project of mine - now called Resourceserver.

It is a simple, in-memory, resource-oriented http server, designed to be used during testing and development of rich-client web apps.

Here is the README:

Resourceserver

TODO: Implement a persistent version (probably using redis).

Implements an in-memory resource oriented HTTP server, provding 5 basic operations (shown in curl_tests.sh)

Create a new resource.

curl -vX POST http://localhost:3002/people -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name": "Liam", "age": 29}'

{
  "name": "Liam",
  "age": 29,
  "id": 2
}

curl -vX POST http://localhost:3002/people -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name": "Noah", "age": 1}'

{
  "name": "Noah",
  "age": 1,
  "id": 2
}

Retrieve the :collection resource with id :id.

curl -v http://localhost:3002/people/1

{
  "name": "Liam",
  "age": 29,
  "id": 1
}

Retrieve an array of all :collection resources.

curl -v http://localhost:3002/people

[
  {
    "name": "Liam",
    "age": 29,
    "id": 1
  },
  {
    "name": "Noah",
    "age": 1,
    "id": 2
  }
]

Override the :collection resource with id :id.

curl -vX PUT http://localhost:3002/people/1 -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name": "LiamO", "age": 30}'

{
  "name": "LiamO",
  "age": 30,
  "id": "1"
}

Delete the :collection resource with id :id.

curl -vX DELETE http://localhost:3002/people/1

It uses the CORS headers to allow cross-origin requests.
