About:
Webdis is a lightweight HTTP server that exposes Redis commands via a RESTful interface. It allows clients to interact with a Redis data store using standard HTTP methods, returning responses in JSON format. This simplifies data access for web applications and mobile clients without requiring native Redis libraries.

Key Features:

Maps HTTP URLs directly to Redis commands
Returns data in structured JSON format
Supports HTTP GET, POST, and PUT methods
Lightweight and easy to configure
Includes basic HTTP authentication

Use Cases:

Building RESTful APIs backed by Redis storage
Accessing Redis data from web browsers using AJAX
Mobile app backend for simple key-value storage
Prototyping and development environments

Alternatives:

RedisInsight – RedisInsight is a GUI tool for data visualization, whereas Webdis is a headless HTTP API gateway.
redis-cli – redis-cli is a command-line interface for direct access, while Webdis enables HTTP-based network access.
