# With routes like:
#app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
#    webapp2.Route("/d/<collection>", DataHandler, methods=["GET", "POST"]),
#    webapp2.Route("/d/<collection>/<id>", DataHandler, methods=["GET", "PUT", "DELETE"]),

# This handler implements the simplest possible backbone handler for whatever data you like.
