1. Purpose & Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Employee Management CRUD System aims to provide a simple web-based interface and REST API to manage employee records efficiently. It fulfills the need to maintain essential employee data such as ID, name, department, and salary with complete create, read, update, and delete functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Allow users to add new employees<\/strong> with required fields (name, department, salary).<\/li>
  • Support editing employee details with a pre-filled form.<\/li>
  • Provide a read-only detailed view of individual employees.<\/li>
  • Allow deletion of employees with user confirmation.<\/li>
  • REST API endpoints should support all CRUD operations for integration or future enhancements.<\/li>
