Understanding the Node.js HTTP Module

The HTTP module is one of Node.js’s core features, allowing developers to build servers without external libraries.

🔑 Key Features:

1️⃣ Create servers using http.createServer().

2️⃣ Handle incoming HTTP requests and send responses.

3️⃣ Manage headers, status codes, and routing.

📚 Quick Example:

const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {

res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });

res.end('Hello, Node.js HTTP Module!');

});

server.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000'));

The HTTP module is a great starting point for learning backend development with Node.js. What will you build with it?
