}
var users map[string]user
func init() {

"1": user{
ID: "1",
Name: "Wreck-It Ralph",
},
}
}
func createUser(c *echo.Context) {
u := new(user)
if c.Bind(u) {
users[u.ID] = *u
c.JSON(http.StatusCreated, u)
}
}
func getUsers(c *echo.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, users)
}
func getUser(c *echo.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, users[c.P(0)])
}
func main() {
