TODO make available via homebrew

This project uses JSON Server v0.14.0 under the hood so you can expect everything that works with JSON Server to work with this UI. It's important to understand that JSON Server generates routes based on the top level properties in the db.json file. So given the following db.json:

{
  "posts": [
    { "id": 1, "title": "json-server", "author": "typicode" }
  ],
  "comments": [
    { "id": 1, "body": "some comment", "postId": 1 }
  ],
  "profile": { "name": "typicode" }
}

You can:

$ curl http://localhost:3000/posts/1
> {"id":1,"title":"json-server","author":"typicode"}

You can learn much more about JSON Server by reading the great documentation.
