Building a TodoList API involves defining a database models and fields to represent tasks, users, and other relevant entities such as categories. This API is developed using Django Rest Framework. Protocols such as databse modelling, routing, HTTP status references codes, user management, serialization and signals are implemented in this project.

In this project, JWT, routers and viewset, and many other REST API functionalities were not implemented because this was my first Django backend project of my Software Development journey and I haven't learnt those as of the time of this project. I will be dropping more huge projects in the future which utilizes most of the functionalities of the REST API development. feel free to modify or enhance this project in anyway.
