Create your first REST API in just 5 steps.

Today we are going to see how to create your first REST API in just 5 steps.

Before starting this article let's take go through the prerequisites.

Prerequisites : 

• Familiarity with Java Programming language.
• Any IDE, for this example I'll be using IntelliJ IDEA CE.
• Web Browser and Internet connection.
• We are good to start.

Let's go and Create our first endpoint. Just follow along and you will be able to create your endpoint within few minutes. 

1. Step 1 : Open your favourite browser and navigate to https://start.spring.io/ 
2. Configure your project : 

• Select Maven Project
• Choose Java Language 
• Select stable version of Spring Boot e.g. 3.1.1
• For now we can leave the Project Metadata as it is.
• Add Spring Web dependency.
• Click Generate and it will download the project.
  
  
3. Your project will be in .zip file, extract it and open with your IDE eg. Intellij IDEA
4. Create a new class with name "TestController" inside - demo -> src -> main -> java -> com.example.demo 
   
   
5. And we are done, just go to DemoApplication and run the main method. It will start Tomcat Server at the port 8080. Open your browser and enter http://localhost:8080/ and you will see the output : Hello from Spring Boot Application 

Hope you were able to create your first endpoint :)
