REST
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It relies on a stateless communication model, where each request from a client to a server contains all the information needed to understand and fulfill that request. RESTful systems use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for communication and typically operate over the web. Resources, identified by URIs, are manipulated using these methods, and the architecture emphasizes simplicity, scalability, and a uniform interface for efficient and reliable communication between distributed systems.
Base Address
CRUD
Your can perform the basic CRUD operations on this route. It operates on the tables present on our mongoDB server.
Schema
As stored in MongoDB. Here "_id" and "__v" are the fields which are filled by mongoDB itself
ID : Number
Name : String
Github : String
_id : String
__v : String
Routes

Advantages
of REST
Simplicity : REST follows a straightforward and easy-to-understand design, making it simple to implement and use.
Scalability : Stateless nature allows for easy scalability, as each request from a client to a server is independent.
Flexibility : Supports multiple data formats, including JSON and XML, providing flexibility in data representation.
Compatibility : Works well with various technologies and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Caching : Utilizes caching mechanisms for improved performance by reducing server load and latency.
Disadvantages
of REST
Limited functionality: REST has limited support for real-time communication and lacks built-in features for complex operations.
Over-fetching and under-fetching: Clients may receive more or less data than needed, leading to inefficiencies in data transfer.
Security: While REST supports HTTPS for secure communication, additional security measures may be needed for certain applications.
Versioning: Handling API versioning can be challenging, especially when changes are introduced.
Statelessness: While statelessness is an advantage for scalability, it may require additional effort to manage state in certain applications.
