JSON Web API
I'd like to create some some Web Apps based on the extremely performant and feature-rich back-end of this project. This will be much easier to do if there is a web-facing JSON API to interact with.

Ideally, the JSON API would expose the following endpoints (to start):

`/api/v1/mempool`
`/api/v1/search?blkhash='blah'/?txhash/etc`. Ideally all the supported search types of the main site.
`/api/v1/transactions?page=1`
`/api/v1/transactions?page=2`
`/api/v1/tx/<tx_hash>`

I'll work to develop the spec of the JSON response itself for each endpoint, but sane defaults will also be fine. Basically whatever is already being returned to the traditional back-end rendered template handlerbar/mustache engine would be great.

I'm not sure how much work this is, or how realistic it is to even ask for this, but I'm hoping that it can be fairly easily integrated given the existing architecture. 

However, I also understand that this project has a focus on darknet support, which is not especially compatible with the type of service I am proposing. Perhaps a fork of this project is a better proposal?

Eager to hear your thoughts. This is probably an ambitious ask, so please let me know if I am overreaching.
