Simple demonstration on building RESTful APIs using node, mongodb and express.
REST defines a set of conventions for creating HTTP services:
- POST: to create a resource
- PUT: to update it
- GET: to read it
- DELETE: to delete it
Express is a simple, minimalistic and lightweight framework for building web servers.
MongoDB is an open-source document database.
- It stores data in flexible, JSON- like documents.
- In relational databases we have tables and rows, in MongoDB we have collections and documents. A document can contain sub-documents.
- We don’t have relationships between documents.
Install the dependencies and start the server.
run `npm install`
run `npm run start`* Build RESTful APIs with Express
