E-commerce REST API

Who uses it: Backend developers

Resources: Users, Products, Orders, Payments
Methods per resource: CRUD operations with auth requirements

Why this works: Map all resources before coding — the diagram becomes the agreed-upon contract between frontend and backend teams.

Tips for better study mind maps

  • Use color coding: green for public endpoints, yellow for authenticated, red for admin-only.
