Posts backend application

This application serves to fetch data from public API - JSON Placeholder.

Application is created using Java and Spring Boot

• Application fetches data from the API and sends the results to the client.
• Application has 2 controllers with corresponding endpoints:
• Root endpoint is http://localhost:8080/

1. CommentController - in method getComments uses ApiService to fetch Comment data.

   • Endpoint /comments

2. PostController - identically to CommentController uses ApiService to fetch Post data from external API.

   • Endpoint /posts

• ApiService class internally uses HttpClient to execute GET request by endpoint https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments and https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts for CommentController and PostController respectively.
