• Checks for command line arguments for setup.
• If no command line arguments, start web server on port 3000 loading routes from routes.go

• Sets routes with http methods, paths, and parameters to functions in hander.go
• TODO: Add better description of all routes. Currently docs/structure.md has all information, it needs to be more formalized.

Possibly change handler.go to formatter.go and use it to parse the request and send it the right way. Then change jsonHandler.go to hander.go and only interact with db.go there

Input

• Parameters in url
• Optional: Query parameters
• Optional: Post body parameters Result
• Calls jsonHandler.go functions to handle both input and output json
• database selection and returning of json
• database insertion

I just realized that handler.go, db.go, and jsonHandler.go are much more entwined than I thought. handler.go with jsonHandler.go; both calling db.go methods.

The idea was just to handle json here, but it also works with the database. May change to handler.go see handler.go

Wraps postgres with go functions so that all SQL interaction happens here. SQL strings are only allowed in db.go

All types used in ambition. May want to add custom struct tags for sql here. Like sql value name and sql value type, for generic database methods in db.go.

Functions for command line arguments go here

Custom utils snippits go here.
