AndyDB

Born out of necessity during a hackathon, AndyDB is a quick-and-easy REST-based NoSQL database inspired by MongoDB.

AndyDB is still in very early alpha and if you are not in my immediate friend circle then it is not ACID-compliant.

Usage

You can either build the binary yourself with go build or download the release.

After starting andydb.exe, you can make simple RESTful CRUD requests to the server at http://localhost:42069/api.

For example, curl -d '{"email": "[email protected]"}' http://localhost:42069/api/contacts will create the contacts resource type (since it does not exist yet) and will save the provided body as an entry of that resource. It will return with the created object in JSON format, and with a new field _id, to be used for future operations. Subsequent POST requests to the contacts resource will append the entry to the list of contacts.

With the _id you may now perform a GET / PUT / DELETE requests in the format of:

• GET http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id}
  • curl http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id}
• PUT http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id}
  • curl -X PUT -d '{"email": "[email protected]"}' http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id}
• DELETE http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id} (
  • curl -X PUT http://localhost:42069/api/contacts/{_id}

If you don't provide the id for a GET request, it will return all entries of the resource.
