  5. 5
    1 what is rest full api
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleAPI = Application Programming Interface — do systems predefined rules se baat karti hain. REST API HTTP + JSON use karti hai.

    Controller/route HTML bhi return kar sakta hai. REST API generally JSON return karti hai, frontend alag ho (Vue/Postman).

    Example

    @app.route('/api/users/<int:id>')
    def get_user(id):
        u = User.query.get_or_404(id)
        return jsonify(id=u.id, name=u.name)

    MAD1 HTML apps mein 'API' kabhi-kabhi routes ko hi keh dete hain. Agar Vue nahi to bolo: server-rendered Flask, JSON APIs optional.
    Boolean return: technically jsonify(True) ho sakta hai, lekin meaningful JSON object better. Flask view None return kare to error.
    Test: Postman se GET/POST.
    Parsing: request.get_json() body se, request.args query se.

    6 cluster in database...
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleConstraints rules hain jo galat data rok te hain. Referential integrity FK valid parent ko point kare.

    PK, FK, UNIQUE, NOT NULL, CHECK (age >= 18). ORM Column flags yahi map karte hain.
    SQL = language tables se baat. Database organized data store.
    SQL View: saved query, table jaisi dikhti hai, data copy nahi.
    Cluster: kai DB servers together (HA/scale) — MAD1 SQLite single file.
    Entity mapping: class User → table user, attributes → columns.

    Dom
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleDOM HTML tree. JS nodes change. Vue Virtual DOM ke through, direct kam.

    Manipulation innerHTML vs Vue data. Remove CSS class = rules gone layout may collapse.

    Pehle 1-line definition, phir related MAD2 layer (Vue SFC / Flask route / models.py / tasks.py / Redis).

    4-line formula: input kahan se aaya, auth/validation kaunsa, DB ya cache ya Celery, kya return.

    Related mix mat karo — cache ≠ Celery, authentication ≠ authorization, v-if ≠ v-show, Beat ≠ Worker. Follow-up ke liye ek difference ready rakho.

    Project example: Inspect Elements. Vue devtools.
