CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are fundamental in software development because they:
- 
Form the Core of Data Management
- 
Essential for interacting with databases, APIs, and persistent storage.
 
- 
Enable applications to store, retrieve, modify, and remove data efficiently.
 
 
- 
Support Business Logic
- 
Allow applications to handle user inputs (e.g., forms, preferences).
 
- 
Enable dynamic content management (e.g., social media posts, e-commerce products).
 
 
- 
Ensure Data Integrity
 
- 
Facilitate API & Backend Development
- 
RESTful APIs are built around CRUD (POST, GET, PUT/PATCH, DELETE).
 
- 
Used in ORMs (e.g., Sequelize, Mongoose) and backend frameworks.
