Designing RESTful resource endpoints
A convention for mapping CRUD actions to HTTP methods and predictable URLs so clients and servers communicate clearly.
"I want my API routes to be obvious: clients should intuitively know how to list, fetch, create, update, or delete resources."
RESTful endpoints use nouns (resources) in URLs and standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT/PATCH, DELETE) to perform CRUD operations, keeping behavior consistent and discoverable.
