Introduction

This repository serves as a sandbox for testing Kotlin libraries, such as

• Ktor - an asynchronous application framework
• Kodein DI - a pure Kotlin dependency injection library
• Kmongo - a pure Kotlin library for work with MongoDB (can be used with both sync and async drivers)
• MongoDB - a NoSQL document-oriented database.
