What is the difference between @Injectable() and @Controller()?

beginner

Re-explain

@Injectable(): Marks a class as a provider that can be injected into other classes. Used for services, repositories, and other business logic classes.
@Controller(): Marks a class as a controller that handles HTTP requests. Controllers define API endpoints and route handling logic.

Controllers can have services injected into them, but services are typically not controllers.
