-![cf](https://i.imgur.com/7v5ASc8.png) 11: Single Resource Express API
-======
-
-## Submission Instructions
-  * fork this repository & create a new branch for your work
-  * write all of your code in a directory named `lab-` + `<your name>` **e.g.** `lab-susan`
-  * push to your repository
-  * submit a pull request to this repository
-  * submit a link to your PR in canvas
-  * write a question and observation on canvas
-
-## Learning Objectives  
-* students will be able to create a single resource API using the express framework
-* students will be able to leverage 3rd party helper modules for debugging, logging, and handling errors
-
-## Requirements
-
-#### Configuration
-* `package.json`
-* `.eslintrc`
-* `.gitignore`
-* `README.md`
-  * your `README.md` should include detailed instructions on how to use your API
-
-#### Feature Tasks
-* create an HTTP server using `express`
-* create a object constructor that creates a _simple resource_ with at least 3 properties
-  * it can **not** have the same properties as the in-class sample code (other than the `id`)
-  * a unique `id` property should be included *(node-uuid)*
-  * include two additional properties of your choice
-* use the JSON parser included with the `body-parser` module as a middleware component to parse the request body on `POST` and `PUT` routes
-* use the npm `debug` module to log the methods in your application
-* create an `npm` script to automate the `debug` process and start the server
-* persist your API data using the storage module and file system persistence
-
-#### Server Endpoints
-* **`/api/simple-resource-name`**
-* `POST` request
- * pass data as stringifed JSON in the body of a **POST** request to create a new resource
-* `GET` request
- * pass `?id=<uuid>` as a query string parameter to retrieve a specific resource (as JSON)
-* `DELETE` request
- * pass `?id=<uuid>` in the query string to **DELETE** a specific resource
- * this should return a 204 status code with no content in the body
-
-#### Tests
-* write a test to ensure that your api returns a status code of 404 for routes that have not been registered
-* write tests to ensure the `/api/simple-resource-name` endpoint responds as described for each condition below:
- * `GET`: test 404, it should respond with 'not found' for valid requests made with an id that was not found
- * `GET`: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no id was provided in the request
- * `GET`: test 200, it should contain a response body for a request made with a valid id
- * `POST`: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no request body was provided or the body was invalid
- * `POST`: test 200, it should respond with the body content for a post request with a valid body
+#Overview
+
+* This RESTful API provides the back-end infrastructure and funtionality to create, read, update, and delete data relative to superheroes.
+
+#Architecture
+
+<p>This API is structured on a Model View Controller(MVC) architectue pattern.  The basic technologies are: node.js server, node.http module, our own "express like" middleware.</p>
+
+<p>Middleware:</p>
+
+* We wrote a vanilla version of our own router that handles the base routing.
+
+* We wrote a vanilla version of a body-parser module that parses JSON data.
+
+#API endpoints
+
+##POST /api/superhero
+
+<p>Required Data:</p>
+
+* Provide superhero name, the comic universe where they are from as JSON.
+
+<p>This route will create a new superhero by providing a superhero name and a comic book universe from which they reside in the body of the request.</p>
+
+##GET /api/superhero
+
+<p>Required Data:</p>
+
+* Provide a specific unique superhero id.
+
+<p>This route will require a unique superhero id and grab the specific JSON object associated with that id.</p>
+
+#Testing
+
+* Testing Framework mocha test runner
+* chai(expect)
+* bluebird promise library
+* eslint
