How does this library work? JsonEngine

Question

https://code.google.com/p/jsonengine/

I have uploaded it to my app engine, I can see the Admin Panel but i'm not sure how I can use it to make json requests.

Do I have to write my own classes or does it do it automatically?

Can someone explain to me how this library works. I have read the wiki many times and I don't get it.

Can I use this library to make json requests from my mobile app to list/update/create records on the server?

JSONEngine is a RESTful database. It is not a library to make JSON requests, it is a library to store/retrieve/handle JSON requests. Its not a library, its a server.

You can read/write data to it by making HTTP calls, as documented in their Usage Guide. Its up to you to decide how (or what library) that you want to save/retrieve data from this JSONEngine. There are dozens of Java libraries for accessing REST API, such as UniRest for example.

Nope, again this is not a library, its a server. You can use any Java REST library to make calls to store/retrieve data from this JSONEngine server.
