Simple Banking Application REST APIs

This project aims to build REST APIs for a simple Banking application using Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA (Hibernate), and MySQL database. The APIs will provide functionality for basic banking operations such as creating accounts, transferring funds, checking balances, and retrieving transaction history.

Features

• Account Management: Create, update, and delete bank accounts.
• Transaction Handling: Perform transactions such as deposit, withdrawal, and fund transfers between accounts.
• Balance Inquiry: Retrieve account balance information.
• Transaction History: View transaction history for an account.
• Security: Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure secure access to the APIs.
• Validation: Validate input data to ensure data integrity and consistency.
• Error Handling: Properly handle errors and exceptions to provide meaningful feedback to API consumers.
• Logging: Implement logging to track API usage and debug issues.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Framework for building robust and scalable Java applications.
• Spring Data JPA (Hibernate): Simplifies database operations by providing an easy-to-use interface for working with relational databases.
• MySQL Database: RDBMS for storing banking data.
• Spring Security: Provides authentication and authorization support.
• Swagger UI: Generate interactive API documentation for easy testing and exploration.
• JUnit & Mockito: Frameworks for unit testing and mocking dependencies.
