Spring Boot CRUD REST API (No Database) | Learn @GetMapping, @PostMapping & Postman
This is Video 4 of the Spring Boot Project Series.
In this video, we focus on core REST API concepts in Spring Boot by building a CRUD API using an in-memory HashMap, without using any database or JPA.
👉 This approach helps you clearly understand how APIs work before moving to PostgreSQL, JPA, and Hibernate in upcoming videos.
