Building REST API's using ExpressJS
ExpressJS is one of the best backend development JavaScript Framework. It is primarily used of creating Restful API’s that accept request from frontend and send appropriate responses.
With ExpressJS you will be able to scale your application quickly. This learning sprint will enable you to build REST APIs using Express JS and document the REST API using tools like Swagger.
Securing REST API's using JSON Web Tokens and Oauth
Every day millions of users put out sensitive information on the internet. Keeping this information safe is one of the biggest challenges faced by the developers. For a developer, it is crucial to build secure applications.
It is important to secure REST API with basic authentication using JWT or JSON Web Tokens. In this learning sprint, you will learn to authorize applications with external APIs using OAUTH2.
