Introduction to Ktor
summary
Ktor claims to be a lightweight, coroutine-first web framework that actually ships a working stack: an embedded Netty server example boots instantly, routing and static files serve, multipart upload works, and content negotiation + JSON (Jackson and kotlinx.serialization) auto-serialize models. Features include authentication, testing helpers that run without a full server, pluggable custom features, coroutines throughout for nonblocking handlers, and experimental CIO and multiplatform client/server support — all demonstrated with runnable code.
