🔗 A generic REST interface into Elixir

A proof of concept implementation showcases a generic REST interface to interact with Elixir's GenServer call and cast functions. It enables communication through RESTful API calls, allowing other applications to utilize Elixir's capabilities. Using curl, this implementation allows you to POST JSON messages to specific server names, handling both set and get operations for a key-value store. The article also introduces a variant to facilitate server-sent events, permitting asynchronous message reception. The approach routes requests to designated handler modules, simplifying the interaction between different programming languages and Elixir's powerful backend systems. The source code, particularly the HTTP server design, leverages GenServers to map and handle various routes, highlighting the elegance of integrating REST with Elixir’s concurrency model.
