# Synopsis
<!--type=misc-->
An example of a [web server](http.html) written with Node which responds with 'Hello
World':
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (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.
