HTTP JSON API that can be used to perform basic tasks of Creating User, Creating Post, Getting User & Post details through their Unique ID. It is developed using Go-Lang and MongoDB as database

Brief Overview of API

The API provides following features

1. Create User:

• A POST Request is used, data is when entered in JSON body gets added to MongoDB (which is used for storage). Also, the data is added at the https://localhost:9000/users .
  

• The Passwords are stored in their SHA256 equivalent so that they can't be reverse engineered.
• Output:
• Every user is assigned with their Unique ID.

2. Create Posts:

• The Posts are created using POST Method
• The URL is http://localhost:9000/posts/
• The request body is in JSON format.

4. Get Posts Details by ID:

• The Posts Details can be from MongoDB using the Unique ID of Posts
• The GET request is to be sent along with id in URL
• The URL for fetching posts details: http://localhost:9000/posts/<id>
• The Get Post Function:

NOTE I was unable to create a function for fetching Posts according to User ID, so I created an extra function for deleting users.

5. Delete User Information:

• This function deletes the User Records from the Database.
• It uses DELETE to perform the operation
• The ID of user is passed in URL for deletion: http://localhost:9000/user/<id>
