Create API endpoints with Express

This projects implements a simple RESTful API that processes HTTP requests.

It makes use of Express.js, a minimal and flexible Node.js framework that includes a myriad of HTTP utility methods for quickly creating robust APIs. We also use the Body Parser package, which is Node.js middleware that allows us to process any POST requests we receive.
