JWT Authentication with Go + Gin

This project demonstrates how to implement JWT authentication in a Go application using the Gin web framework.
It includes user registration, login with bcrypt password hashing, JWT token generation, and protected routes.

---

🚀 Features

• User Registration (/register)
• User Login with JWT token (/login)
• Protected routes using JWT middleware (/api/posts)
• In-memory storage for demo purposes
• Easy to extend for real-world use cases

---

📌 Example Scenarios

• Secure blog APIs where only authenticated users can create posts.
• Mobile or web apps needing stateless authentication.
• Microservices that require lightweight identity validation.
• Role-based access with custom JWT claims.

---

✅ Benefits

• Stateless authentication (no server session storage required).
• Scalable and lightweight for modern applications.
• JWT carries identity and expiration in a single token.
• Easy to integrate with mobile apps, SPAs, or third-party services.
