1. Data Interface

   • JSON Presentation
     • HTML
       • HTTP POST method
       • Table Structure to present JSON
     • CSS
       • CSS styling should use colour theme of Star Wars (for example, black/yellow)
     • Python
       • Python Flask module is used to combined HTML and CSS in order to create a web application that displays JSON data.
       • requests module in order make a HTTP request to the API and retrieve JSON data.

2. Data Structures

   • JSON representation
     • Arrays
       • Various arrays within SWAPI
         • Arrays used to store multiple values for a person for example, starships being the various starships a person piloted
     • Raw JSON
       • Output JSON
         • Possible design from programatically transformed JSON data used in web application

3. Data Specification

   • Data Constraints
     • Primary - Unique identifier for each entry
     • Unique - No other entries can be the same
     • NULL and NOT NULL - required field
     • Foreign Key - Entry that refers to primary key in another table
   • Data Types and their general character lengths
     • varchar(255) - Used for text
     • int(100) - Used for whole numbers
     • JSON from SWAPI
       • Resources and respective key attributes
         • Root
         • People
         • Films
         • Starships
         • Vehicles
         • Species
         • Planets
     • float(100) - Used for decimal numbers
     • Boolean - Used for true or false

4. REST

   • Principles
     • Uniform
       • Giving all resources an ID
     • Client-Server
       • System has a client that can request resource from server
     • Stateless
       • Client to server interactions are independent
     • Cacheable
       • Responses from server can be stored by user locally
     • Layered
       • System must have layers like a hierarchy with each layer having specific function
