Creating a list of Restful API for a blog post app using Node.js(Express) + Mongodb + Mongoose

To recap the API has the following endpoints:

• GET /api/posts/ returns only title and tags for all posts [[{"id":"",title":"","tags":""},...]
• POST /api/posts/ with post parameters {'title', 'tags', 'content'} creates a new post
• PUT /api/posts/:postID with parameters {'title', 'tags', 'content'} will update an entry
• GET /api/posts/:postID returns the post found at postID
• DELETE /api/posts/:postID deletes the post found at postID
