Node.js Static File Server

The `static-server` package provides a minimalistic HTTP server explicitly designed to serve static files from a local directory. It is primarily intended for local development, rapid prototyping, or testing scenarios, with its maintainers stating it is "obviously not" suitable for production environments and "preferably not" for high-traffic applications. The current stable version, 2.2.1, was released several years ago, and the project appears to be abandoned, with no significant updates in a long time. It differentiates itself by its extreme simplicity and minimal configuration options, serving only static resources without support for server-side scripting languages like PHP, Ruby, or Python. It's a foundational utility rather than a feature-rich web server.
