Building a REST API in Flask With SQLite

Introduction

In this project, we will learn how to build a REST API in Flask using SQLite as the database. We will start by creating a sample SQLite database and populating it with some data. Then, we will build a Flask application with endpoints to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the data in the SQLite database.
