type user struct {
	ID   string `json:"id"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

var users map[string]user

func init() {
	users = map[string]user{
		"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() {
	e := echo.New()

	//*************************//
