Book Management System

A simple RESTful API for managing a collection of books written in Go.

Gin Framework

Gin is a web framework written in Go (or Golang) which is known for its minimalistic design and high performance. It's commonly used for building web applications and RESTful APIs due to its fast routing and processing capabilities.
