I've been digging into http://remotestorage.io/ a bit ...

Here's what the spec says a given implementation should do. I love the simplicity:

  • GET a folder: retrieve the names and current versions of the documents and subfolders currently contained by the folder
  • GET a document: retrieve its content type, current version, and contents
  • PUT a document: store a new version, its content type, and contents, conditional on the current version
  • DELETE a document: remove it from the storage, conditional on the current version

Like Git, folders are implicitly created as a side effect of creating documents, and empty folders do not exist.
