#Mutilator

##Astonishingly Pointless Bullshit as a Service

v.0.1.0

##Introduction

Ever see one of these things on Facebook or somewhere?

I cnduo't bvleiee taht I culod aulaclty uesdtannrd waht I was rdnaieg. Unisg the icndeblire pweor of the hmuan mnid, aocdcrnig to rseecrah at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whoutit a pboerlm. Tihs is bucseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Aaznmig, huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghhuot slelinpg was ipmorantt! See if yuor fdreins can raed tihs too.

Well, I built it as a webservice. Actually, I built a gem for it first with the intention of creating some sort of annoying Twitter bot, but it seemed it would work like this too.

###Content negotiation

Mutilator will respond to the following Accept values with appropriate content:

####text/csv

Content will be returned as comma-separated values thus:

source,mutilated
This sentence is just a test,Tihs secnntee is just a tset

####text/html

Content will be returned as an HTML page with a Twitter Bootstrap Jumbotron containing the mutilated text (example).

####application/json

Content will be returned as a JSON object thus:

{
  "source": "This sentence is just a test",
  "mutilated": "Tihs secnntee is just a tset"
}

####text/plain

Content will be returned as plain text thus:

This snctneee is just a test  

####application/xml

Content will be returned as an XML document thus (this may be completely bogus, what I understand about XML would fit on the back of a fag packet):

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <mutilation>
    <source>This sentence is just a test</source>
    <mutilated>Tihs secnntee is just a tset</mutilated>
  </mutilation>

###Notes

I regret nothing.
