How to create HTTP web server and load JSON content in web browser with Node.js

Answer 1

const http = require('http')

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
    if (req.url === '/workers') {
        const workers = [
            {name: 'Tom', age: 51 },
            {name: 'Mila', age: 43 },
            {name: 'Amelia', age: 47 },
        ];
        res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' })
        res.end(JSON.stringify(workers));
    }
});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;

server.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`The server is running on port ${PORT}`));




/*
run:

The server is running on port 8080

On http://localhost:8080/workers
[{"name":"Tom","age":51},{"name":"Mila","age":43},{"name":"Amelia","age":47}]
