Go+Gin web service storing my vinyl collection and serving it as a web app

The skeleton of this code is from the golang tutorial for writing a web service . It's a good tutorial, if you're interested in this code you should read through that too.

The schema used here is a departure from the tutorial, it uses the same schema found in Discog's API and published database snapshots.

REST Service endpoints

/records

* **GET** gets a list of vinyl records returned as JSON. If no filters are specified, it will return the 20 most recent additions * **POST** adds a new album to the collection (auth required)

/records/:id

* **GET** gets the details of a vinyl record

/artists/:id

* **GET** gets details about an individual artist and the records they have appeared on

Database representation

The data is stored mostly as flat files on disk because the majority of release information is written once and permanently set.

The collection information is also in a flat file but it will be moved into a proper RDBMS after enough of the collection schema is defined and after the collection data itself has been more fully populated. (KISS principle)

• releases/

• masters/

• artists/

• labels/

• collection/
