API (Application Programming Interface) and how a React frontend communicates with a Java/Spring Boot backend and a database.
Example: Student Management App
Suppose your React page has a student list
1. GET → Get student data
React displays:
ID Name Course
1 Raja Java
2 Arun Python
2. POST → Add new student
{
"name": "Raja",
"course": "Java"
}
3. PUT → Update student
4. DELETE → Delete student
API is like a bridge between React and Spring Boot
