Testing setting up a json-server with Node, Restify and node-mysql.
You can make a dicitonary, so save your translations.
Restify can very easily be replaced with Express, maybe just by changing the require-module to use Express. See here the reason why you might want to use Restify: http://mcavage.github.com/node-restify/
This json-server saves notes to a database.
I also did a similar test with mongo: https://github.com/frodefi/node-mongodb-json-server
I will next do a test using mongodb and socket.io, then I will also include authentication. If you don't want to use socket.io, you can take out the authentication part and put it in here. See https://github.com/frodefi/node-mongodb-socketio-server
Please feel free to use this code as you like :)
