Codable Routing with Kitura
summary
Kitura 2.0 takes JSON duties off handlers so routes accept and return Swift types directly, cutting boilerplate and leaving only business logic. Examples implement GET /commits, POST /commit and GET by author using JSONEncoder/JSONDecoder and handler signatures that receive Codable types. KituraKit enables sharing the same model definitions with iOS, and a Swift query ORM demo shows saving via Model.save. A client library encapsulates encode + network + decode and it works end-to-end.
