Guide for Comma-Separated String Parser

This microservice will allow a user to send a string of values that are sepeated by commas and receive a JSON where keys will start with Ingredient 1: and increment up for every value.

Example:

• Input: "pepper, apples, pear"
• Output: {"Ingredient 1": "pepper", "Ingredient 2": "apples", "Ingredient 3": "pear"}

Any string can be sent to this microservice and the microservice will always respond with a JSON output. However, if your list is not seperated with commas then the output might not be what you expect.
