+= REST streaming example
+
+To try this example, you need GNU `make` and `git` in your PATH.
+
+To build and run the example, use the following command:
+
+[source,bash]
+$ make run
+
+Then point your browser to http://localhost:8080
+
+== About
+
+This example simulates streaming a large amount of data from a data store one
+record at a time in CSV format. It also uses a constraint to ensure that the
+last segment of the route is an integer.
+
