**BREAKING CHANGE:** As of version 3.0.0, LiteNode no longer supports being loaded using `require`. This change aims to maintain and enhance LiteNode in a modular way, which would be difficult to achieve if backward compatibility with CommonJS were maintained.
## Installation
You can install LiteNode via npm:
```bash
npm install litenode
```
## Quick Start
Here is a basic example of how to create a server using LiteNode:
```javascript
// To use LiteNode in your project, you can import it using ES6 import syntax
import { LiteNode } from "litenode"
// Create a new instance of LiteNode
const app = new LiteNode()
// Define a route
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.txt("Hello, LiteNode!")
})
// Start the server
app.startServer()
```
## Key Features
- **Efficient Routing**: LiteNode provides a [flexible routing system](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/routing/) allowing you to define routes with various HTTP methods.
- **Middleware Support**: Easily integrate [middleware functions](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/middleware/) into your application to handle common tasks such as logging, authentication, etc.
- **Integrated Body Parser**: Simplify handling of POST requests with [LiteNode's integrated body parser](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/body-parsing/), supporting `application/json`, `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, and `multipart/form-data` content types.
- **Static Asset Loader**: Serve static files effortlessly with [LiteNode's built-in static asset loader](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/serving-static-files/), without server restart.
- **Error Handling**: Customize [error handling](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/error-handling/) with ease, ensuring robustness and reliability in your application.
- **Templating**: LiteNode includes an [integrated template engine](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/rendering-templates/) for rendering HTML files with [conditional logic, looping through arrays, and negating conditions](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/ste-helpers/).
- **Markdown**: With [LiteNode's support for Markdown](https://litenode.pages.dev/docs/markdown/), you can easily create content-driven applications with rich text formatting.
## Strengths
- **Lightweight and Fast**: LiteNode is designed to be lightweight, ensuring quick response times and efficient handling of requests.
- **Modular Design**: The framework's modularity allows for easy customization and extension, enabling developers to add or modify functionalities as needed.
- **Modern JavaScript Support**: LiteNode leverages ES6 features, making the codebase clean and modern.
- **Comprehensive Built-in Features**: The framework includes essential web server features out of the box, reducing the need for additional dependencies and simplifying development.
## Conclusion
