Simple REST API mixer as a service. A minimal service will be deployed on your local port `8000` , all incoming data has to be sent by _POST_ fields (_e.g. [form-data ](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388 ), [x-www-form-urlencoded ](https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sec-forms.html#urlencoded-form-data )_). The output is a _application/json_ set.
