I like to know how stuffs work and maybe this is why I like building things from scratch,
I might use Map instead of the extension switch but I know this is just an intro to node server so refactoring is not beneficial,

Great work as always my friend 🚀👍

Hi Mr.Dave,
I have a question concerning the parse and the stringify part of this lecture. Would it have been better if we serve the json data without parse in it and stringify it again as long the readFile() for .json extension do that already and the receiver could parse and consume the data correctly?
by the way i can't thank you enough for all what you've done seen much content but you've a unique philosophy ( Tought you the right way of doing it ). Am sure your hard work will be remembered forever ☺.
