It allows communication between a client and a server over the web, typically using HTTP.</p> <p>REST APIs use standard HTTP methods to perform actions on resources. The most common methods are:</p> <p>GET: Retrieve data from the server (e.g., fetch a list of books).<br> POST: Create new data on the server (e.g., add a new book).<br> PUT: Update existing data (e.g., edit the details of a book).<br> DELETE: Remove data from the server (e.g., delete a book).<br> This project provides a simple RESTful API for managing a todo list. It is built using Node JS’ native HTTP module and allow for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on todo items, which are stored in a JSON file.</p> javascript node restapi rest
