# nginx-json-proxy

Ever wanted make sure you're only passing JSON across a boundary? Every

thought the best place to do this would be in Lua embedded in nginx?

This project is for you.

## Usage

You can test out the example by running openresty:

    openresty -c `pwd`/config/nginx.conf

Then making requests via curl:

    # valid JSON

    curl -X POST -d '["bob", "jim"]' http://localhost:3000/

    ["bob","jim"]

    # invalid JSON

    curl -X POST -d '["bob", "jim]' http://localhost:3000/

    invalid request

Rather than use a real backend the example currently just hard codes the

response. If you change the response by commenting line 66 and uncommenting

line 67 to return invalid JSON then you should get:

    # valid JSON, with invalid JSON response

    curl -X POST -d '["bob", "jim"]' http://localhost:3000/

    invalid response

## Installing OpenResty
