works great, but I see that you are using non-secure http connection, it would be great if you are planning to include SSL encryption over it.

Don't spend your time including anything like that.

Looks nice. I made a similar app few days back and made it as a self hosting one.

You can check it out here. https://github.com/avinoth/apistore

If required , this tool http://jsonformatter.org jsonformatter and support url too.

Good idea.

I don't understand why anyone would ever use this instead of a simple KV store like Redis or Memcached?

There are literally zero technical details about what the system runs on or how data is stored. In the time it took me to look around trying to find some technical details or source code to look at, I could have started a VM and installed Redis.

Wow. Great timing. This will pair nicely with an Html5 app I just posted

Also, I always used to wonder why something simple like this already exists. Well done!

I made something similar for HTML, check http://motyar.info/gist/

and, what can it be useful for?

a quick database for cacheing data temporarily from a web app's client-side code, maybe? I wouldn't make a whole platform depend on it, but seems useful enough at least for prototyping.

That can well be done locally
