+# "Bookstore"
+
+---
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Bookstore** is a comprehensive web application designed to facilitate the online selection and purchase of books across various categories. This platform allows users to browse, add to cart, and purchase books without the need to visit a physical store, offering a seamless and flexible shopping experience.
+
+The application leverages modern Java-based server-side technologies, including the Spring Framework, to ensure robust and scalable performance. For security, JWT (JSON Web Tokens) is used to manage authentication and authorization, providing secure access control throughout the application. The application is containerized using Docker, making it easy to deploy and manage in various environments, including cloud services like AWS.
