REST API Server and Web Client

Description

This is my implementation of a small REST API as described in the exercise, and a web client which consists of a single HTML file with JavaScript in it for the backend.

It is composed of 2 files:

• server.js: Implements the REST API.
• client.html: Implements the web client. You only need a web browser to open it.
