📦 INSTALLATION

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Minimal-Rest-Api-Framework.git
cd Minimal-Rest-Api-Framework

Ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system.

Run the server:

python minimal_rest_framework.py

---

🚦 QUICK START

The framework comes with a few pre-defined routes. Below is a summary of the available endpoints:

GET /

• Description: Returns a welcome message.
• Response:

{
    "message": "Welcome to the Minimal REST Framework!"
}

---

🛠️ CUSTOMIZING THE FRAMEWORK

You can add custom routes to the framework by using the @app.route() decorator. Here’s an example:

@app.route("/new-endpoint", method="GET")
def new_endpoint():
    return {"message": "This is a new custom endpoint!"}

Add this function to the minimal_rest_framework.py file and restart the server to make the new endpoint available.
