CRUD Operations with REST
Implement Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations for your entities via REST endpoints.
CRUD Operations: The Basics
Welcome to implementing CRUD operations with Spring Boot! CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
These are the four fundamental operations for persistent storage, allowing you to manage data in your application.
In REST APIs, each CRUD operation typically maps to a specific HTTP method.
Mapping CRUD to HTTP Methods
Understanding how CRUD maps to HTTP methods is key for RESTful design:
- Create (C): Handled by
POSTrequests. - Read (R): Handled by
GETrequests. - Update (U): Handled by
PUTrequests. - Delete (D): Handled by
DELETErequests.
We'll use a simple Product entity and its ProductRepository from previous lessons.
