Node.js was designed with networking in mind. Its built-in HTTP module makes it straightforward to create web servers and make HTTP requests, which is why Node.js became so popular for building backend services.
In this unit, you’ll learn HTTP and networking in Node.js. We’ll cover making HTTP requests to external APIs, creating HTTP servers, handling requests and responses, and understanding the fundamentals of networked communication.
These networking skills form the foundation for building web servers, APIs, microservices, and any Node.js application that communicates over HTTP.
