Building a RESTful API in Deno with Oak and MongoDB

Deno is a modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript built on V8 and Rust, supporting TypeScript and JavaScript with built-in security features that restrict file, network, or environment access unless explicitly enabled. In this tutorial, Deno is used alongside Oak, a middleware framework inspired by Koa, and MongoDB, a document-oriented database, to create a RESTful API capable of performing CRUD operations. By setting up a Deno server with Oak and connecting to MongoDB, developers can manage data in JSON-like documents and execute operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting data. The tutorial also demonstrates testing the API using Postman and highlights how Deno's features facilitate building secure and efficient web applications. While this guide provides a foundational understanding, it encourages further exploration of Deno's capabilities and integration with other technologies.
