Task Manager API (Flask)

🧠 Project Overview

This project is a simple Task Manager API built using Flask.
It allows users to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on tasks. The API is tested using Thunder Client or Postman to simulate requests.

This project is designed to demonstrate how REST APIs work using Flask.
It helps in understanding key concepts such as routing, endpoints, HTTP methods, and JSON responses — all essential for backend or full-stack development.
