//! A plug and play http interface layer for various lockchain components
//!
//! The way this is done is by shimming a common REST interface (via actix-web) in
//! between common `lockchain-core` types and the `lockchain-client` library which
//! is a base wrapper around `reqwest` which uses this API.
//!
//! You can of course also use whatever other library, in whatever language you want
//! to access this API. Doing so via the *official* client gives you the ability to
//! negotiate version numbers and have more advanced error handling built-in.
//!
//! Ideally this shim-layer version should be the same as the `lockchain-core` it binds
//! against, however especially during development this won't always be the case.
//!
//! **Note**: API endpoint documentation can be found
//! [here](https://github.com/spacekookie/lockchain/tree/master/lockchain-http#api-reference)
