The Animon Backend is a Spring Boot REST API that powers the Animon application, an anime tracking platform that allows users to manage their watch lists, track progress, and store ratings.

This service is designed following clean architecture principles with clear separation of concerns between controllers, services, and persistence layers.

• Java 17
• Spring Boot
• Spring Web (REST APIs)
• Spring Data JPA
• PostgreSQL (planned)
• Hibernate
• Maven
• Swagger / OpenAPI (planned)
