Assignment

Build a RESTful Web API to manage a basic list of users for your app.

A User has:

• a unique id
• a name

Features

The Web API must provide a set of endpoints to fulfill the following needs:

• add a new user
• view a list of existing users
• view the details of a single user
• update the information of an existing user
• remove a user

Here is a table with the endpoint descriptions:

Action	URL	Method	Response
Add a user	/users	POST	the new user
View list of users	/users	GET	array of users
View user details	/users/{id}	GET	a single user
Update user	/users/{id}	PUT	updated user
Remove a user	/users/{id}	DELETE	deleted user
