So let's jump over to the browser really quick. And that is this site here, it's called httpbin.org. And you can see that there are a variety of endpoints that you can use to test all kinds of rest based operations. So for this example, we're going to specifically use the post endpoint in the HTTP methods category. And this endpoint will accept the data that we post using our form, and then return the result as a JSON data structure that we can inspect back in our client side code.
