Representational state transfer (REST) server using Express.js and MongoDB. This server is written in Node.js and using some libraries or frameworks like MongoDB as the server database (with mongoose as the client library) and Express.js as the HTTP framework. This server uses HTTP methods to handle the requested CRUD operation, then process it to the MongoDB database.

This project is undertaken to fulfill the Telematics Projects course in the Computer Engineering department of Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology.
