A lightweight, custom HTTP server built in Java using com.sun.net.httpserver. This project demonstrates a robust server with features like routing, static file serving, JSON handling, and concurrent request processing.

• Multiple Endpoints:
  • /: Serves a welcome HTML page.
  • /api/greet?name=<name>: Returns a JSON greeting (GET).
  • /api/data: Accepts JSON data (POST) and echoes it back.
  • /static/*: Serves static files (e.g., HTML, CSS) from the static directory.
• Configuration: Loads port and static directory from server.properties.
• Concurrency: Uses a thread pool to handle multiple requests efficiently.
• Logging: Logs requests and errors to server.log.
• Error Handling: Returns appropriate HTTP status codes (e.g., 404, 405).
• Query Parsing: Supports URL query parameters.
• JSON Support: Handles JSON responses and POST request bodies.

Edit server.properties to change:

• port: Server port (default: 9000).
• static.dir: Directory for static files (default: static_content).

Logs are written to server.log with timestamps, request details, and errors.

• Add authentication middleware.
• Support HTTPS with SSL/TLS.
• Implement RESTful CRUD operations.
• Add unit tests with JUnit.

This server demonstrates core backend development skills, including HTTP protocol handling, concurrency, configuration management, and logging; Tryout virtual threads and new java features.
