Responses

If there is no text querystring parameter return error message:

{"error":"Missing 'text' query parameter"}

If there are no mistakes return false for suggestion.

{
  "original": "the words are fine.",
  "suggestion": false
}

If there are mistakes but no suggestions return null for suggestion and corrections.

{
  "original": "dfdgdfg is gfdgdfsg.",
  "suggestion": null,
  "corrections": {
    "dfdgdfg": null,
    "gfdgdfsg": null
  }
}

If there are mistakes and suggestions return an array for each correction and replace the word in the suggestion string.

{
  "original": "thefdeee123 is theedffdfde is baddd.",
  "suggestion": "thefdeee123 is theedffdfde is bad.",
  "corrections": {
    "thefdeee123": null,
    "theedffdfde": null,
    "baddd": [
      "bad",
      "addd",
      "bddd",
      "badd"
    ]
  }
}
