openui5-model-json-crud

An OpenUI5 library which extends JSONModel to support CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. It uses fetch (not jQuery.ajax) to send requests to the server and populates a JSON Model with the responses. As aforementioned, OpenUI5 CRUD JSON Model uses fetch hence it returns Promises.
