Introduction

This project demonstrates the MERN stack, a popular technology stack for building full-stack web applications. It combines four technologies:

• MongoDB: NoSQL database
• Express.js: Web application framework for Node.js
• React.js: Frontend library for building user interfaces
• Node.js: JavaScript runtime for server-side programming
