<h2><a href="/articles/litestore/">Introducing LiteStore</a></h2>
<p class="subtitle">
A tiny, lightweight, self-contained, RESTful document store
</p>
<section>
<p>Lately I have become more and more interested in client-side single-page applications. Nowadays you can write your web apps in Javascript using your favorite framework, without any server-side logic, but you obviously still need:</p>
<ul>
<li>some web service to retrieve and persist your application data.</li>
<li>a web server to serve the source code and the static assets of your web application.</li>
</ul>
<p>NodeJS is probably one of the easiest backend to setup for prototyping SPAs. It is very easy to create a simple web server in Node and to implement a simple <span class="caps">REST</span> <span class="caps">API</span> using Express or a similar framework, but you still need to install node and write some code to wire up your backend.</p>
<p>I wanted something even more lazy then that. I wanted a fully <em>self-contained</em> program able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Serve static files</li>
<li>Act as a simple <span class="caps">JSON</span> document store</li>
<li>Provide a simple <span class="caps">REST</span> <span class="caps">API</span> to work with</li>
<li>(bonus!) provide a way to pack web apps for easy distribution</li>
</ul>
<p>…and that’s how I ended up developing <em>LiteStore</em>.</p>
