OverviewError handling is one of the most important aspects of building robust and reliable web servers. Whether you’re running a small application or a large-scale production service, errors are inevitable. Without proper error management, users can encounter cryptic messages or, worse, experience service interruptions. In this post, we will discuss error handling in a Node.js…

When building web applications, it is common to pass data between the client and server through URLs. One way of doing this is by using query parameters. Query parameters are typically included in the URL after a question mark (?) and are used to send small pieces of data in the form of key-value pairs.…

Introduction In today’s world of web development, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has become the de facto standard for exchanging data between clients and servers. Many modern web applications, particularly those using RESTful APIs or Single Page Applications (SPAs), rely heavily on sending and receiving JSON data. As a developer working with Node.js, it’s important to…

Overview In dynamic web applications, handling dynamic routes is an essential feature. Unlike static routes that correspond to fixed URL paths, dynamic routes are flexible and can change based on input, such as parameters and query strings. These routes allow you to extract data from URLs and use that data to perform operations or send…

Introduction Node.js has become a popular platform for server-side development, primarily because of its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that allows it to handle multiple requests efficiently. While Node.js excels in building APIs and handling JSON data, it can also be used to serve traditional web pages. In this post, we will focus on how to…

OverviewRouting in web development is the process of defining how a web server responds to different types of requests for various URLs. It allows the server to execute specific logic based on the URL or the HTTP method used in the request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.). In this post, we will explore routing in…

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation of data communication on the web. When building web applications, understanding how to handle different HTTP methods is crucial for interacting with resources on the server. The HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are used to perform various actions on resources. In this post, we…

Introduction Node.js is a powerful platform for building scalable, high-performance applications, particularly for handling asynchronous operations. One of the most essential components of Node.js is its built-in http module. This module allows developers to create HTTP servers and handle HTTP requests and responses, making it a cornerstone for building web applications and APIs. In this…

Introduction Node.js, an event-driven JavaScript runtime, has revolutionized how developers build server-side applications. At the heart of many web applications is an HTTP server that listens to incoming client requests, processes them, and sends back responses. While building a complex web application often requires frameworks like Express, setting up a basic HTTP server from scratch…

Introduction In modern web development, creating and managing servers is a fundamental skill. While there are many web frameworks available, Node.js stands out as a popular and lightweight option for building high-performance servers. One of the core features that makes Node.js powerful is its ability to build an HTTP server using the built-in http module.…
