This repository contains the server-side code for ip23movies, a movie streaming platform. Built using Node.js and Express.js, this server handles authentication, video streaming, and other backend functionalities required for the platform.

• User Authentication: Provides endpoints for user registration, login, and authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Video Streaming: Implements routes for fetching and streaming video content to authenticated users.
• Database Integration: Utilizes MongoDB for storing user data and video metadata, with Mongoose as the ODM (Object Data Modeling) library.
• Middleware: Includes middleware for parsing JSON bodies, enabling CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing), and handling 404 errors for undefined routes.

• Node.js: JavaScript runtime environment for server-side development.
• Express.js: Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing user data and video metadata.
• Mongoose: Elegant MongoDB object modeling for Node.js.
• JSON Web Tokens (JWT): Secure method for transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.
• dotenv: Module for loading environment variables from a .env file into process.env.
• cors: Middleware for enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing in Express.js.
