Architecture

The API serves only one route:

checksum_path  POST  /v1/number  ChecksumWeb.ChecksumController :process_command

It expects a json with the format above:

{"command": "A123", "id": "some_string"}

id is optional and if present creates a new checksum sequence apart from the default one.
