This document summarizes how to build a RESTful API for an employee database. It shows SQL queries for common CRUD operations and their RESTful API equivalents. Some key points covered include: - Using GET to retrieve all or a single employee, POST to create a new employee, PUT to replace an employee, and DELETE to remove an employee - Including parameters like limit, offset for pagination, fields for partial responses, and q for searching - Best practices like assigning IDs on the server rather than client, and using POST instead of PUT for partial updates
