Overview/Description

This 13-video course presents an overview of tools used to create REST (representational state transfer) APIs (application programming interface) with Java, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) standard file format.  Learners will explore STS (Spring Tool Suite) for Java, and the IntellJ IDEA integrated development environment. You will install JDK (Java Development Kit) tools to run and create Java programs, and the Spring Tool Suite. Then you will learn to validate the Maven setup in the STS IDE (integrated development environment). Next, learn about Spring Boot, an open- source Java-based framework; dashboards; CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functionality; and the ability to use Spring JPA (Java persistent API) with Apache Derby. Next, learn to use JSON with Java class objects, and serialize Java objects to JSON. You will see how to generate JSON with Spring using the MVC (model, view, controller) framework. You will learn to create a REST controller by using the GET method. Finally, you will watch how to build an executable JAR (Java Archive) file by using Spring.
