Express Dev Server

express-dev-server is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to quickly spin up a basic development server using Express.js. It serves static files from a specified directory on a given port. Currently at version 0.2.1, this package appears to be an early-stage, minimalist project with a focus on simplicity for basic static file hosting during development. Its primary use case is for developers needing a quick way to preview static web assets without complex configuration. The project has seen no updates in several years, indicating it is no longer actively maintained. Unlike full-featured development servers, it provides very minimal options beyond serving a directory and port, and does not offer advanced features like hot module reloading, proxying, or API integration capabilities.
