Powering What’s Next in
Book Management
===============

Create, organize, and serve your entire library through one simple REST API.

[Explore the API](/api-reference)

[Read the Docs](/documentation)

#### [Full CRUD operations](/api-reference)

List, create, fetch, update, and delete books with predictable REST
endpoints under `/api/v1/books`.

#### [No authentication](/documentation)

Every endpoint is publicly accessible—point your client at the base
URL and start building immediately.

#### [Consistent errors](/documentation)

Every failure returns the same `error` envelope, so you handle them with a
single code path.

#### [Health checks](/api-reference)

A dedicated `/health` endpoint reports service status and a timestamp for
uptime and readiness monitoring.
