Today I used Express JS to make a simple API. First I initialized a repository with Node Pacakge Maanger and installed Express. From there, I wrote a little Javascript file that created the API and instructed it to listen on port 8080. From there I could define a GET method on the URI "coder" which returned a JSON object. From there, I downloaded a tool called Insomnia to help me query the API in a nice developer environment. Within Insomnia I sent my GET request, and got my JSON object as a response with a nice 200 OK code!
