What is this

This make a virtual REST API server on GitHub repository. By analyzing JSON files, the script makes directories and some files. User can access datas of JSON file as if REST API server

Sample

Now sample.json is in ./json and have following structure.

{
    "data": [
        {
            "no": "1",
            "date": "2020-01-28T00:00",
            "place": "japan",
            "age": "22",
            "sex": "female"
        },
        {
            "no": "2",
            "date": "2020-02-14T00:00",
            "place": "australia",
            "age": "50",
            "sex": "male"
        }
    ],
    "last_update": "2020-03-14T23:14:01.849130+09:00"
}

The script loads JSON files in ./json .

Now only 'sample.json' is in ./json . When main.py runs and loads sample.json, it makes files as you can access like following.

data you want	REST API URL
all of sample.json	https://kanahiro.github.io/gh-pages-rest-api/sample
last_update of sample.json	https://kanahiro.github.io/gh-pages-rest-api/sample/last_update
data[0] of sample.json	https://kanahiro.github.io/gh-pages-rest-api/sample/data/0
data[1] of sample.json	https://kanahiro.github.io/gh-pages-rest-api/sample/data/1
data[1]['no'] of sample.json	https://kanahiro.github.io/gh-pages-rest-api/sample/data/1/no
