Local Web Server

local-web-server is a lean, modular web server designed for rapid full-stack development. As a distribution of the core `lws` package, it bundles a starter pack of useful middleware, enabling functionalities like serving static files, Single Page Applications (SPAs), URL rewriting, CORS, and mock APIs out-of-the-box. The current stable version is 5.4.0, with regular updates addressing bug fixes and new features. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP2, offering both programmatic and command-line interfaces. Key differentiators include its small footprint, modular design allowing users to load only required behaviors, and comprehensive features for prototyping back-end services or front-end applications. It requires Node.js v12.20 or newer.
