REST API

- Line 3 adds one required part of the working pattern: app.get("/api/rest-api", (req, res) => res.json({ ok: true, feature: "REST API" }));.
- Line 4 adds one required part of the working pattern: app.listen(3000);.
Why this example is useful
This example is useful because it isolates rest api without surrounding noise, so you can see the idea clearly.
Where it is used in real projects
REST API appears in real NodeJS work when a feature needs a clear pattern that can be reviewed and changed safely.
