Guided Project: Create your first RESTful API with Express

Representation State Transfer or REST is considered the standard for web APIs. Express.js is a popular and powerful Node.js web application framework for developing RESTful APIs that simplifies the development process by abstracting away much of the technical and tedious details of building an API.

This guided project is an excellent resource if you are interested in enhancing your server-side web and mobile development expertise.

In about an hour, you’ll develop practical JavaScript skills using Express to create an interesting REST API that allows clients to handle information about chilies. Completing this project will provide you with back-end development experience.

As part of this hands-on project, you will be provided with a browser-accessible development environment that already has many technologies and libraries preinstalled, including the IDE, Node.js runtime, and Express, saving you the time and hassle of setting everything up. Also, note that this platform works best with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari.
