Using the application

The application uses an 'In Memory' database, so no need to install any database. The configuration of the database is made in the "application.properties" and creates a single table called "task" when the application starts using the "data.sql" file, then it inserts 3 tasks in the table using the method populatesH2Database().

Its possible to teste the API with tools like Postman, sending HTTP requests to the mentioned endpoints.
