📜 Notes

This project was developed as an educational exercise during class and showcases the use of Spring Boot for creating RESTful APIs. It demonstrates basic CRUD operations and simple in-memory storage using a List. No database integration was implemented in this version.

🧪 Testing the API

This API was tested using the Thunder Client extension for VS Code. Thunder Client provides a simple and efficient way to test RESTful APIs directly within the VS Code editor, making it easy to send requests and view responses during development.
