Users can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of users.
There are two implementations of GET. One will find a user with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the user . The other will find a list of users matching the parameters supplied to it.
This GET service will find a user with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.
