📜 Description
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build a simple HTTP web server in Rust, with the following endpoints:
‭• POST /owner - for adding an owner.
‭• POST /dog - for adding a dog to the given owner.
‭• POST /booking - for adding a booking for the given owner.
‭• GET /bookings - to get all the future bookings, from closest in time to furthest away.
‭• PUT /booking/{id}/cancel - to cancel a particular booking that’s fallen through.
