muck-poc - a proof of concept for an JSON store
=============================================================================

Muck will be a JSON store, with an access controlled, RESTful HTTP
API. Data stored in Muck will be persistent, but kept in memory for
speed of access (similar to Redis). Data is stored as flat JSON
objects:

* an object may have any number of fields
* each field has a value that is `null`, a UTF-8 string, or a list of
  UTF-8 strings

Access is granted based on signed JWT bearer tokens. An OpenID Connect
or OAuth2 identity provider is expected to give such tokens to
authorized users. The tokens are signed with a public key, and the
expected signing key is a key Muck configuration item.
