Features

User Authentication: Secure user login and registration using JWT.
API Endpoints: RESTful APIs for user management and authentication.
Database Integration: MongoDB for data storage.
Dependencies:
- bcryptjs for password hashing.
- body-parser for parsing request bodies.
- express for server setup.
- jsonwebtoken for token generation and validation.
- mongoose for MongoDB interaction.
