Kotlin/Native Ktor server example

Hello! This is an example of a basic REST API server implemented with Ktor for native targets using Kotlin/Native. This example demonstrates how to implement type-safe routing, and how Ktor content-negotiation makes it seamlessly integrate with kotlinx.serialization plugin for JSON encoding and decoding.

You can run the server locally with Gradle task runDebugExecutableLinuxX64 on Linux systems. The application will listen to port 8080 (you can change the port in src/nativeMain/kotlin/Main.kt). You can check the responses using the Postman collection provided in the repository Kotlin_Native_Ktor_Server_Example.postman_collection.json.

To build a standalone binary for Linux, uselinkReleaseExecutableLinuxX64 task. You can locale the binary at./build/bin/linuxX64/releaseExecutable/app.kexec.

Testing

Test cases are also added to test the CRUD operations. The tests are located at ./src/nativeTest/kotlin/ApplicationTest.kt
