Node.js | Web Server

Node.js is an open source server environment. Node.js uses JavaScript on the server. Thetask of a web server is to open a file on the serverand return the content to the client.

Node.js has a built-in module called HTTP, which allows Node.js to transfer data over the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). 😊👉✨ The HTTP module can create an HTTP server that listens to server ports and gives a response back to the client.

express doc

The Express philosophy is to provide small, robust tooling for HTTP servers, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs.
