Task Management REST API

What I Built

I developed a simple REST API for task management using Spring Boot.
The API supports basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on tasks and exchanges data in JSON format.

Why I Built It

The goal of this project was to understand and practice the fundamentals of REST architecture, HTTP methods, and Spring Boot annotations.
Instead of using a database, tasks are stored in an in-memory list, which makes it lightweight and perfect for learning and testing with Postman.

How I Built It

• IDE: Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Eclipse
• Build Tool: Maven
• Dependency: Only Spring Web (no database, no JPA)
• Controller: TaskController handles endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and deleting tasks.
• Testing: Used Postman to send requests and verify JSON responses.

Endpoints

• POST /tasks → Create a new task
• GET /tasks → Get all tasks
• GET /tasks/{id} → Get task by ID
• PUT /tasks/{id} → Update task by ID
• DELETE /tasks/{id} → Delete task by ID
