This is JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation. We are telling the Node runtime that there is a file server.js that contains the server-side JavaScript, which handles what to do when someone enters our app URL into their browser.

In this app, and many Node apps on Glitch, we have a dependency of Express, which is a framework that allows us to write less code to do more things for Node.

I don't like word dependency.Looking for simple wasy to bit a bit of data into HTML. Don't even really need to worry abotu storage. Adding links to a bunch of stuff I don't understand is opposite of my goals, still looks easy and a play with javascript.

n this app, we have a new resolutions.json file which is JSON (like our package.json) containing info about resolutions. We can send this to our client-side JavaScript by adding another GET request. This is called an endpoint, because you're creating a URL that you may or may not allow anyone to access to get some kind of info.
