Kcrud serves as a comprehensive example of a Ktor server, showcasing a variety of features and best practices.
The code intentionally contains redundancies and inconsistencies to illustrate different approaches and strategies to achieve similar results. For example, different authentication methods (JWT, OAuth, and Basic, despite Basic being discouraged); different approaches to exception handling and validations across layers. The project also delves into data persistence, illustrating custom columns with validation, field level encryption, different ways to store enums in a database, etc.
