  var connect = require('connect')
  var http = require('http');

  var Document = require('node-document');
  var API = require('node-document-api');

  var Post = Document('Post');

  Post.api = API({route: '/api'});

  var app = connect();

  app
    .use(Post.api)
    .use(function(req, res) {
      res.end("Hello world!");
    });

  http.createServer(app).listen(3000, function() {
    console.log('[node-document-api/examples/connect-example.js]: Listening on port %s', 3000);

  var app = express();

  app
    .use(Post.api)
    .use(function(req, res) {
      res.end("Hello world!");
