This web app is a RESTful API that allows for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of articles stored in a MongoDB database. It is built using Node.js and the Express.js framework, with EJS for HTML templating and Body Parser for request body parsing. The MongoDB database is accessed and managed through Mongoose, an Object Document Mapper (ODM) for MongoDB and Node.js. With its well-defined routes and functionality, the app provides a simple and effective way to interact with the database.
