## ๐ŸŒฑ **Project Overview**
This project is a hands-on exploration of FastAPI, focusing on understanding the fundamentals of creating modern web APIs. It covers the basics of:

- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ FastAPI setup and configuration
- โšก Creating asynchronous API endpoints
- ๐ŸŒ Handling requests and responses
- ๐Ÿ” Basic security and authentication features
- ๐Ÿ“š API documentation and interactive exploration with Swagger UI
