# Synopsis
<!--type=misc-->
An example of a [web server][] written with Node.js which responds with
`'Hello World'`:
```js
const http = require('http');
http.createServer( (request, response) => {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8124);
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/');
```
To run the server, put the code into a file called `example.js` and execute
it with the node program
```
$ node example.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/
```
All of the examples in the documentation can be run similarly.
