Api Go REST

🛠 Description

This project aims to create a simple REST API using the Go programming language (Golang). It leverages various Go libraries to handle routing (Gorilla Mux), logging (httpsnoop), CORS middleware (Gorilla handlers), and database interactions (pgx, gorm). The API connects to a PostgreSQL database and uses GORM (Go Object-Relational Mapper) for database operations..
