Summary

The configurable server using a JavaScript object is truly fascinating and so speedy to work with. Maybe, at the start, it takes little time to set up the whole configurable objects but once sorted, it provides great flexibility to reuse the snippets as well as maintaining the code. It seems like the hapi server is prepared for scalability from the start. Moreover, as we saw, we don't need to handle all the data response from the server or its content, just return the data to the callback handler and hapi identifies its type by itself. The development time to define content-type or find an npm package for each response type, such as HTML, JSON, or any string, is reduced to a great extent.

Lastly, we saw the debugging process using the POSTMAN client and its usage. Creating a whole hapi server system makes extensive use of JSON itself and it is one of the important learning steps for us in the application of JSON at the server side. Moving on to the next chapter, we are going to explore...
