BookApi is a simple Spring Boot-based backend project designed to demonstrate CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. This API provides a RESTful interface for managing a collection of books. It's a useful tool for developers looking to integrate book management features in their applications or anyone learning how to build RESTful APIs using Spring Boot.

• Create a new book entry.
• Retrieve a list of all books.
• Retrieve details of a specific book by its ID.
• Update an existing book's details.
• Delete a book from the collection.

• Backend Framework: Spring Boot (version 2.5 or higher)
• Programming Language: Java (JDK 17 or higher)
• Database: H2 (in-memory) or MySQL (optional for persistent storage)
• API Testing Tool: Postman
• Build Tool: Gradle or Maven (depending on your preference)
• API Protocol: RESTful API
• Serialization: JSON format for API responses and requests
• Data Persistence: JPA (Java Persistence API) with H2 or MySQL database

• POST /api/books - Add a new book.
• GET /api/books - Retrieve all books.
• GET /api/books/{id} - Retrieve a specific book by ID.
• PUT /api/books/{id} - Update book details.
• DELETE /api/books/{id} - Delete a book.

The BookApi was created to provide a straightforward solution for managing a book collection using basic CRUD operations. This project serves as a simple backend system where users can:

1. Add new books.
2. View a list of all books or details of a specific book.
3. Update existing book information.
4. Delete books when no longer needed.

This API can be easily integrated into other systems or used as a learning resource for developers new to Spring Boot and RESTful APIs.

The BookApi was designed to help developers understand and implement basic CRUD operations in a RESTful service using Spring Boot. It can be useful for:

• Students or beginners learning backend development with Spring Boot.
• Developers who need a starting point for building book or resource management applications.
• Those who want to experiment with integrating REST APIs into other frontend applications or systems.
