## Main packages ##

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.api ###

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.server.json ###

JSON object mapper interface and implementations.

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.server.logging ###

Logging interface and implementation.

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.server.services ###

Service interface and implementations.

To implement a new service is sufficient to extend the class
ch.ethz.sis.microservices.server.services.Service. This class extends the standard J2EE HttpServlet
and is up to the implementer to decide to accept the different http methods.

This class just provides a convenience method getServiceConfig() to retrieve the configuration.

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.server.startup ###

### ch.ethz.sis.microservices.util ###
