Ask HN: An API to store/retrieve JSON?

5 points·pcmaffey··7 comments

I'm looking for an API to act as a minimalist JSON store.

Does it exist? Should it exist?

Try out goms: https://github.com/artpar/goms

You can design the entities for your JSON apis, including relations and have the live apis with about 20-30 mins of work.

The APIs follow JSONAPI.org [1] spec, so any client library from this page will work

http://jsonapi.org/implementations/

I have been working on the documentation since the last week, you can find it here:

https://github.com/artpar/goms/blob/master/documentation/doc...

Would love to hear your feedback, both on the product and the documentation.

[1] https://jsonapi.org

Great looking project, and really well documented. It's way more than I need at-the-moment, but starred it for future.

Where do you plan to access it from? Do you mean server or cloud software? Have you searched google - there are large numbers of such applications.

Question has too little context, what is your interest, to build applications with it, or build it? On what platform?

Yeah, a public API anyone can sign up for, get a token, and call from anywhere to store key/value data, without needing to setup a server/database. Basically like Web Storage API, but saved in the cloud instead of locally, so that it persists.

I wasn't able to find anything that exists like this (if you know of any, please share). My interest is in using it, but if it doesn't exist, I wonder about building it as a service.

that is Amazon S3 in a nutshell.

Amazon S3 is basic, MongoDB and other NoSQL solutions are a bit more complicated.

Surprised no one has mentioned Redis...Its stored in your server's ram and can store JSON strings.
