+# oraclequantapi- Measurement Parser API
+
+A Spring Boot REST API that parses encoded measurement strings and stores the history in an Oracle XE database.
+
+---
+
+## How to Run
+
+1. Start Oracle XE:
+
+run the docker start oracle-xe
+
+
+2. Build the JAR:
+-----
+./mvnw clean package
+-----
+3. Run the app:
+------
+java -jar target/oraclequantapi-0.0.1.jar
+------
+4. Open the browser and test:
+------
+http://localhost:8080/convert-measurements?input=abbcc
+------
+
+......................
+
+## How to Deploy to Oracle Linux VM
+
+1. Copy the JAR to the VM:
+-------
+scp target/oraclequantapi-0.0.1 safa@<vm-ip>:~/
+-------
+
+2. SSH into the VM:
+-------
+ssh safa@<vm-ip>
+-------
+
+3. Run the app:
+-------
+java -jar ~/tryout-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
+-------
+
+4. Test from your browser:
+-------
+http://<vm-ip>:8080/convert-measurements?input=abbcc
+-------
+
+.......................
+
+## How to Configure the Database
+
+Open `src/main/resources/application.properties` and update these values:
+
+```properties
+spring.datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:1521/XEPDB1
+spring.datasource.username=system
+spring.datasource.password=<your-password>
+```
+
+- Replace `<host>` with `localhost` if running locally, or your Mac IP if running from the VM
+- Replace `<your-password>` with the password you set when creating the Oracle XE container
+
+.........................
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| GET | `/convert-measurements?input=<string>` | Parse input and return result |
+| GET | `/history` | Get all history records |
+| GET | `/history/{id}` | Get one record by ID |
+| PUT | `/history/{id}` | Update a record by ID |
+| DELETE | `/history` | Clear all history records|
+
+### Examples
+
+**Convert:**
+```
+GET http://localhost:8080/convert-measurements?input=abbcc
+Response: [2, 6]
+```
+
+**Get all history:**
+```
+GET http://localhost:8080/history
+```
+
+**Get one record:**
+```
+GET http://localhost:8080/history/1
+```
+
+**Update a record:**
+```
+PUT http://localhost:8080/history/1
+Body: { "input": "abbcc" }
+```
+
+**Clear history:**
+```
+DELETE http://localhost:8080/history
+Response: History has been Deleted
+```
