Ktor CRUD REST API

This project is a REST API built using Kotlin and Ktor that allows users to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on tasks. The API enables you to add, remove, and view tasks easily. The project is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, using Kotlin's concise syntax and Ktor's powerful features.
