News API Server - A Sample Go REST API

This project demonstrates the development of a RESTful API service using the Go programming language. It aims to provide a solid foundation for building your own APIs, adhering to common patterns and conventions.

Features

• RESTful API design following best practices (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE for CRUD operations)
• Modular code structure with clear separation of concerns (handlers, models, database access, etc.)
• Built-in unit tests for core functionalities

Installation

Prerequisites:

Go version 1.x or later (check with go version) A code editor or IDE with Go support
