## Features
- **REST API**: Study and implement REST API endpoints using HTTP methods, request/response handling, and best practices.
- **GraphQL**: Implement GraphQL schemas, resolvers, and queries for efficient data retrieval.
- **gRPC**: Explore protocol buffers (Protobuf) and gRPC server-client architecture.

## Frameworks Covered
- **Node.js**: JavaScript runtime for server-side applications.
- **Golang**: Fast and efficient programming language for APIs.
- **Symfony**: PHP framework with structured and reusable components.
- **Spring Boot**: Java-based framework for microservices and APIs.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites
Ensure you have the following tools installed:
- Node.js
- Go
- PHP
- Java (with Maven)
- Docker (for containerized services, optional)

### Setup
Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JawherKl/api-design-study.git

Navigate to a specific API type and framework to start working:

cd api-design-study/rest-api/nodejs

Install dependencies and start the server:

npm install
npm start
