10: A Simple JSON API

In this exercise you'll make a new version of your TODO application, but using slightly "older" techniques to create an interactive UI that uses a JSON API.

Windows Users

You'll need to download curl for windows from curl.se if you're on windows. The only problem is PowerShell comes with a fairly lame curl that's an alias for Invoke-WebRequest. You can just type curl.exe and that'll use the real curl. You can also or run this command:

remove-item alias:curl

After that you should be able to run curl like normal with just:

curl
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

The only problem is you'll have to do this every time you start PowerShell. Making this permanent is...complicated. Just type curl.exe instead.
