Backend API
===========
Tucker Evans
v1.1, December 9, 2019

This REST API allows you to access recipe information in our database with
simple HTTP requests. There is currently no authentication/authorization of
clients. It return recipes in JSON format together with some status information
about the request.

JSON format
-----------
The current implementation expects (and returns) recipes in the form:

.Recipe JSON
[source,json]
----
{
	"id": 0,
	"name": "Recipe name",
	"description": "Recipe Description",
	"photos": [
		"photo_url_1",
		"photo_url_2"
	],
	"servingSize": 0,
	"cookTime": 0,
	"rating": 0,
	"timesCooked": 0,
	"tags": [
		"keyword 1",
		"keyword 2",
		"keyword 3"
	],
	"ingredients": [
		{
			"name": "Ingredient 1 Name",
			"amount": 1.0,
			"unit": "Ingredient Units"
			"type_": ""
		},
	],
	"steps": [
		{
			"instructions": "Step Instructions/Description",
			"timer": 0
		}
	]
}

----
[NOTE]
`"id"` is not required for a POST request, and will be ignored.

[IMPORTANT]
Keywords and Photo URLs are currently stored as pipe separated values, the
parsing of which is not complete and as such there is a extra empty string
(`""`) is appended to these lists in the response (it is not required in
requests)

.Response JSON
[source,json]
----
{
	"Status": {
		"Code": 200,
		"Msg": "Successful"
	},
	"Data": "<DATA>"
}
----
[NOTE]
Data will either be a Recipe object or a list of recipe ids (null is also a
valid value).
