Exposure Microservice (ccte-api-exposure)

Overview

The Exposure Microservice is a RESTful API designed to manage and provide Exposure data. It interacts with a PostgreSQL database and offers various endpoints for Exposure-related operations.

Available Data

Data underlying the Exposure API comes from the Chemicals and Products Database (CPDat) Learn more: The Chemical and Products Database, a resource for exposure-relevant data on chemicals in consumer products and predictions from EPA’s Quantitative Structure Use Relationship (QSUR) models Learn more: High-throughput screening of chemicals as functional substitutes using structure-based classification models.

Technologies Used

• Java: Programming language used for the development of the application.
• Spring Boot: Framework used to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications.
• Spring Data JPA: Part of the Spring Data family, used to simplify data access and persistence.
• Spring Data REST: Used to expose Spring Data repositories as RESTful web services.
• PostgreSQL: Relational database used for storing Exposure data.
• Maven: Build automation tool used for managing project dependencies and build lifecycle.
• Lombok: Java library used to reduce boilerplate code.
• MapStruct: Code generator used to simplify the implementation of mappings between Java bean types.
• Swagger/OpenAPI: Used for API documentation and testing.
• Testcontainers: Java library used for integration testing with Docker containers.
