- Kotlin is a general-purpose programming language that is static typed, supports OOP and FP, and was developed by JetBrains. Ktor is a web framework for Kotlin that supports asynchronous servers and clients.
- Ktor allows building web applications using routing to define endpoints, application calls to handle requests and responses, and features like HTML rendering, JSON serialization, and database access using Exposed.
- A full-stack Kotlin web application example was demonstrated using Ktor, Exposed ORM, and a MySQL database to build both a web UI and RESTful API for a todo list application.
