Specifics

Spring Data REST

I did chose not to use Spring Data REST because it gets complicated to remove the _embedded element as it’s a fully HAL+JSON compliant library which does not work well with the API spec of the real world app project.

Spring Security

Regarding Spring Security, I think its too complex to implement for such a simple use case (extracting the Authorization header, check in db then parse the JWT).

Database

For the moment it uses a simple H2 in memory db, but it can be changed easily.

Testing

Testing needs to be implemented

@agrison awesome 👍 I’ve never worked with spring before. I’ll get your project setup and give the api a test from my end and give you my feedback by today.

OK I’ll ping you once I tested it all 😃
