Tech

IDHack2016 uses a number of API's/Platforms to work properly:

• [Node.js] - Evented I/O for the backend
• [Express.js] - Framework used to build the REST-based backend
• [jQuery] - Obvious things are obvious

How Backend Works

During the course of the (under) 24 hours we have spent programming, we tried to remain as "RESTful" as possible with our API's and write clean code. In order to show the information about the disease itself, we are querying the Wikipedia API and getting a excerpt which contains useful information about the virus or disease that is targeted.

Prerequisites

• [Node.js] - Tested with version v5.5
