title: How to call existing REST api from a HTML form?
body: <p>I have a REST API that I am using in a mobile application to register/store data into a Mongo database. I would now like to view the data stored in the DB on a webpage.</p>
  
  <p>I know that I basically have all of the functionality already (the login request used in my mobile application) but I am so confused on how to call my REST from my HTML page.</p>
  
  <p>Something like this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36975619/how-to-call-a-rest-web-service-api-from-javascript-button-handler">How to call a REST web service API from Javascript button Handler?</a> ?</p>
  
  <p>I am also confused on how/where I should be creating my html page. Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Joe</p>
