+  A sample Restful JSON Client API.
+  This sample demonstrates how to comunicate with an HTTP JSON 3rdparty
+  API in Lua script.
+  APIs demonstrated:
+    * HTTP RestClient
+    * JSON
+--]]
+
+-- GitHub API URL
+url='https://api.github.com/repos/GrangerHub/tremulous/releases'
+
+-- HTTP Get request- retrieve the raw JSON response
+txt = http.get(url)
+assert(txt.code == 200)
+
+-- Decode raw JSON response into a Lua table
+releases = rapidjson.decode(txt.body)
+
+-- GitHub returned an array of releases- The "most_recent" is item 1
+-- NOTE: Lua array indexing starts at `1` not `0`!!
+most_recent = releases[1]
+
+-- FIXME: Remove hardcoded tag_name in this test
+assert(most_recent.tag_name == "Oct-22-2016")
+
+
+for i,asset in ipairs(most_recent.assets) do
+    print(asset.browser_download_url)
+end
