Build a simple web service

[Geane Norm]

Hi,
I am building a simple webservice with Spring Boot (I am totally new to it). I have a simple endpoint called /product/ and I am getting all my data from a CSV. I am using OpenCSV to read the csv and then GET all the products and products by Ids, but I have a question when it comes to POST, DELETE and PUT operations (for example post a new product). Since I am reading the data from a CSV, shall I use the

CSVWriter

(From OpenCSV) to save the newly created product? Or shall I simply have my RequestMapping in the controller not being bothered about saving it back in the csv file?

Thank you,

G.

Is that an option? If it is, then why do you have PUT/POST/DELETE methods in the first place?
