Endpoints and RESTful API

Qwik City is able to create a RESTful API for your application using Endpoints. Endpoint routes are created the same as how you would create a "page", except the filename should end with .ts instead of .tsx. An index.ts in the src/routes directory is only for data, such as a json response, while an index.tsx is for an HTML page.

Both "page" and "endpoints" are the same except for one difference: a page exports a default component$() to render HTML, whereas an endpoint only HTTP request and response handlers. To learn about defining a page component, you can read more here. An endpoint route however, is used only for the purpose of responding with data.
