Standard format for JSON filenames?

The nextstrain app route to dataset pipeline will look like this:

nextstrain.org/:virus/:strain/:timeperiod, thus: nextstrain.org/flu/h3n2/3y

How we map this to a REST route on the server, and then to string names on s3 is an open question

[trvrb]

Good question. The current practice for S3 is:

/data/h3n2_3y_tree.json
/data/h3n2_3y_sequences.json
/data/zika_tree.json

The issue is, some viruses (like Ebola and Zika) have only one resolution (timeperiod) and only one lineage (strain).

What about just doing the exact same structure for S3? So

/data/flu/h3n2/3y/tree.json
/data/flu/h3n2/3y/sequences.json
/data/zika/tree.json

That's ideal, if it's not too inconvienient, as we can construct the request on the client

[trvrb]

Seems entirely reasonable. Shouldn't be an issue with the builds.
