REST API
REST API is a way that enables communication between systems. It uses the HTTP method to exchange data in JSON format.
There are Different HTTP Methods
- GET
- POST
- DELETE
- PUT
GET
The GET method is used to retrieve data from a database.
POST
The POST method is used to add & update data to the Database.
DELETE
The Delete method is used for deleting the data from the Database.
PUT
The PUT method is used to replace the existing data provided in the request body.
Best Practices to create Routes
Never use a verb while writing an API
❌GET /getUerDetails incorrect way
✅GET /userdetails in the correct way
Separate them using a Hyphen
❌GET /getuserDetails
✅GET /user-details
In the API path and Route, everything is in lowercase
❌GET /User-Details
✅GET /user-details
