from dead_simple_framework.database import Indices
from dead_simple_framework.api.errors import API_Error
from dead_simple_framework.api.utils import JsonError

• Starts a local server at http://0.0.0.0:5000/

• Serves CRUD operations for MongoDB users collection users at endpoint /api/users

• Issues JWT tokents for created users at endpoint /api/authenticate

• Serves CRUD operations for MongoDB collection posts at endpoint /api/posts

• Demos errors at endpoint /error
