The Person API

• GET /api/v1/person: Get all the persons
• GET /api/v1/person/{ID}: Get person by person's ID
• POST /api/v1/person: Insert a new person
• PUT /api/v1/person: Update an existing person
• DELETE /api/v1/person/{ID}: Delete person by person's ID

Project Structure

• Domain: Object models of the domain that incorporates both behavior and data.
• DAO: Data Access Object is a structural pattern that allows us to isolate the application/business layer from the persistence layer using an abstract API.
• DTO: Data Transfer Object an object that carries data between processes in order to reduce the number of method.
• Service: The Service Layer defines an application's boundary with a layer of services that establishes a set of available operations and coordinates the application's response in each operation.
• Transformer: Transformer is a design pattern that helps objects to transform themselves into objects of any type.
• Resource: RESTful Web services allow the requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources by using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations.

Technology

• Java: 8
• Kotlin: 1.3
• Spring boot: 2.3.1
