This projects purpose is to provide a REST-API for Routing requests.
There is already [openrouteservice](https://openrouteservice.org/) and some other services, that do exactly that, however none of them are self-hostable (AFAIK).
The project should be easily deployable on any [OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) dataset (so far XML is the only way to import data, because I haven't had the muse to look at Google's documentation on serialization) and should be able to run on any hardware (however since we use huge datasets, some memory is needed...).
