Tern REST API

---

NOTE

This project still not functional. Please wait for the first functional release (0.0.1)

---

The Tern REST API is a RESTful API for Tern Project.

Currently, the API is not functional as it is still in the Specification development and project structure phase.

The specification is available at Tern REST API Offline Swagger, and contributions are welcome.

Mainly the API is implemented asynchronously on the server-side as the tern reports can take a while to be generated.
