Building RESTful Web services with Go

Implementing the e-commerce REST API

Before jumping in, let us design the API specification table, which shows the REST API signatures for various URL endpoints. Refer to the following table:

Endpoint	Method	Description
/v1/user/id	GET	Get a user using ID
/v1/user	POST	Create a new user
/v1/user?first_name=NAME	GET	Get all users by the given first name
/v1/order/id	GET	Get an order with the given ID
/v1/order	POST	Create a new order

touch jsonstore/main.go ...
