Setting up a server

Express makes building servers much simpler than the raw Node.js HTTP module. Less code, cleaner syntax, same result.

const express = require('express')
const app = express()

app.use(express.json())  // parse JSON bodies

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello from Express!' })
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000')
})
