 1 | # LoveDB
 2 | 
 3 | LoveDB is a new kind of database.
 4 | 
 5 | It's fully-based on standardized HTTP, which means no wheels were re-invented
 6 | in the writing of this spec. Authentication, encryption, caching, and even
 7 | transaction semantics can all be layered in via HTTP.
 8 | 
 9 | Data is input and output as JSON. HTTP paths refer to loci in a single, global
10 | JSON object tree. Here's a very simple example:
11 | 
12 |     « GET /
13 |     » {"a": 123}
14 |      
15 |     « GET /a
16 |     » 123
17 | 
18 | HTTP operations modify or retrieve parts of the object tree:
19 | 
20 |     « PUT /b
21 |     « 456
22 |      
23 |     « GET /
24 |     » {"a": 123, "b": 456}
25 |      
26 |     « DELETE /a
27 |      
28 |     « GET /
29 |     {"b": 456}
30 |
