Express CRUD API Server
Extensible REST API server with CRUD methods. Intended to integrate various data models through a common API. Built with Express in Node.js.
This serves as a blueprint to get an Express server with routes for CRUD operations—GET, POST, PUT, DELETE—up-and-running with your database of choice.
Currently, there are examples of data models using Mongoose schemas for a MongoDB database. Other dattabase frameworks can be added and integrated with this common API.
