• node

  An example of a web server written with Node which responds with 'Hello World':

      var http = require('http');
  
      http.createServer(function (request, response) {
        response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
        response.end('Hello World\n');
      }).listen(8124);
  
      console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/');
  

  To run the server, put the code into a file called example.js and execute it with the node program

      > node example.js
      Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/
  

  All of the examples in the documentation can be run similarly.
