Does it support dependency injection?

Yes, it includes comprehensive patterns for setting up and using Koin DI within Ktor modules, routes, and services for better modularity.

Is kotlinx.serialization supported?

Yes, it configures ContentNegotiation with kotlinx.serialization for efficient JSON handling, including custom serializers for types like Instant.

Ktor is an asynchronous framework for creating microservices and web applications in Kotlin using coroutines, designed to be lightweight and flexible.

How does this skill help with authentication?

It provides pre-configured patterns for JWT authentication, including verifiers, payload validation, and custom challenge responses to secure your API endpoints.

Can I use this for integration testing?

Absolutely, the skill includes templates for using Ktor's testApplication engine to write reliable integration tests for your routes and business logic.
