DateTime-Server-Abdelrahman-Mahmoud

Introduction

A server is a computer system capable of delivering web content to end users over the internet via a web browser. In this project we deliver the current date and time to the user using two golang packages net/http and gin.

Feature /datetime

This end point returns a message that has the current date and time as a JSON for simplicity and easier exchange of data between different technologies.

{"message": "2024-07-07 16:08"}
