How m-junaid/student-management-api works
This is a Django REST Framework service for student and course records. The main workflow is an API client request routed to a student or course viewset, checked for access, filtered or validated, serialized, and served from the configured database. The README also documents JWT access and refresh, student-specific and staff statistics endpoints, and OpenAPI/Swagger. Route wiring for the app and the health/auth handlers is unsampled, so those are represented at the documented URL-module level rather than as inferred view implementations.
