# The modern way to write JavaScript servers

**[Marvin Hagemeister](https://daily.dev/sources/marvinh)** · 4 min read · 57 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

The Request/Response API offers a modern approach to writing JavaScript servers that simplifies testing and improves performance by eliminating the need to bind sockets. This API, familiar from browsers, allows servers to be expressed as functions returning responses, resulting in significant speed improvements. While Node.js hasn't yet fully adopted this API, frameworks like SvelteKit have effectively integrated it, making development smoother across different runtimes.
