LESSON
Start with one resource and two verbs: GET (read) and POST (create). Name routes after nouns (/orders, not /getOrders). Decide what fields the request and response carry before writing any code — a clear contract prevents 80% of bugs.

- 2Define the GET and POST routes.
- 3Write down request and response fields.
