Student API

This repository contains a Postman collection for performing CRUD operations on a Student API. The project was created as part of learning API development and API testing using Postman. The backend is built using Go (Golang).

📝 Description

The Student API Postman Collection demonstrates the following HTTP operations on the Student resource:

• Create (POST)
• Read (Single User) (GET)
