## Usage
Once the server has started, it will begin syncing up with the network. At that point you may begin using it. The preferred way is through our [javascript api](https://github.com/eris-ltd/eris-db.js), but it is possible to connect directly via HTTP or websocket. The JSON-RPC and web-api reference can be found [here](docs/api.md)
