About

This API serves as a backend for a task management application. It provides endpoints for managing tasks, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting tasks.

The tech stack used includes Spring Boot for the backend, with MVC architecture for handling HTTP requests. The frontend is built separately and consumes the API's endpoints. Data is stored in a JSON file (tasks.json) and is read and manipulated by the API.
