+# Web Development API Task
+
+## Your task is to create an API to manage a user persistence layer.
+
+We would expect this task to take a few hours, however there is no strict time limit and you won't be judged on how long it took you to complete. Please find a few pointers below:
+
+Your solution _must_:
+
+  - Expose a **user** model. It's reasonable to expect that a user has (at least) the following attributes:
+    - **`id`** - _a unique user id_
+    - **`email`** - _a user's email address_
+    - **`givenName`** - _in the UK this is the user's first name_
+    - **`familyName`** - _in the UK this is the user's last name_
+    - **`created`** - _the date and time the user was added_
+  - Have the ability to persist user information for at least the lifetime of the test.
+  - Expose functionality to create, read, update and delete (CRUD) users.
+  - Be easily consumable by a plain HTTP client (e.g. cURL or Postman) or, if using a transport other than HTTP, be trivial to write a client application to consume it.
+
+Although the main outcomes of the task are listed above, if you feel like you want to go that extra mile and show us what you're capable of, here is a list of potential enhancements that we have come up with:
+
+- Provide a way for your API to be easily tested/consumed (e.g. a custom front-end, a [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com/) collection or a [Swagger/OpenAPI](https://swagger.io/) API specification).
+- Use of an industry standard data exchange format.
+- Sanitisation checks of inputs.
+- Implementation of test coverage.
