I just wanna understand the node service purpose, looks most api service come from java api service. But what is the node service responsible for ?! The code shows that is relative plugin and runJS, may i know more the detail about the feature ?!

@noway55m currently, the node service is mainly used to serve data source plugins. It provides an easier to develop a data source.

You can add any data source to Openblocks via adding a plugin in the plugins directory, and PRs are also welcome.

Documents about this is coming soon.
