Write a coming to Ktor from ASP.NET article, and focus on the following topics.

• idioms and vocabulary
• general configuration (configuration screen, opt-in)
  • different than ASP.NET because more options
• request & response handling
  • processing Form POST
  • processing JSON model
  • reading from other elements of the request (Headers, query string, etc.)
  • returning different responses (HTML, JSON, XML)
  • static files
• utilizing a dependency like SQLite
  • setting up the connection
  • reading
  • writing

Build a single endpoint that explores these topics and relate them back to C# code. It might make sense to have a tab switcher to compare the two.

Create a Ktor 1.5 tutorial for the Express.js developers. It should introduce the migration process from the NodeJS to Kotlin and Ktor, highlighting the common points as well as differences between both technologies.
