Implementing a REST API in a Flask application
Flask, as a popular Python web framework, provides developers with a flexible and lightweight solution for building web applications. With Flask, you can easily create and manage RESTful APIs. The process of implementing a REST API in a Flask application is simple.

In addition, we will use Flaskās routing system to map each endpoint to a specific function in the application.
Each function should handle the HTTP request, interact with the database (if necessary), and return...
