Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/immodded/json-server.git
cd json-server

Install dependencies:

Ensure you have Python installed. Then install Flask using:
```
pip install Flask
```
Run the application:

Use the following command to run the Flask application:
```
python main.py <json_file_path> [port]
```
- <json_file_path>: Path to the JSON file you want to load.
- [port] (optional): Port number to run the Flask application. Defaults to 7070 if not provided.
Access the API:
- Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7070/ to see the entire JSON data.
- To access nested data, use paths like http://127.0.0.1:7070/key1/key2/key3.

Example:

http://127.0.0.1:7070/ returns the entire JSON data.
http://127.0.0.1:7070/key1/2/key3::gt:69/keyx returns the nested data at the specified path.
http://localhost:6001/from:1::to:5 return the list from index 1 to index 5
http://localhost:6001/from:3:: return the list from index 3 to last.
http://localhost:6001/::to:6 return the list from starting to 6.
http://localhost:6001/age::gt:20 return the list in which dictionary item has age[key] value greater than 20.
http://localhost:6001/age::lt:30 return the list in which dictionary item has age[key] value less than 30.
http://localhost:6001/id::et:3 return the list in which dictionary item has id[key] value equal to 3.

If an invalid path, index out of range, or trailing slash is detected, an error message will be returned in JSON format.

Example:

{
  "error": "Invalid path, index out of range, or remove trailing slash."
}
