javascript - NodeJS How to implement request/response in net module -

i new nodejs , working on project in using 'net' module. question can implement request, response model using 'net' module can accomplish in http module i.e. want when user type localhost:port number in browser can send response browser. can accomplish same using http , unable understand basic difference between 'net' , 'http' module:

my 'net' module code :

var net = require('net'); var server = net.createserver(function (con) { con.on('data', function (data) { <some code> }); con.on('end', function () { console.log('nodeserver disconnected'); }); }); server.listen(8888, function () { console.log('nodeserver listening port:8888'); });

following 'http' module code:

var http = require("http"); var fs = require("fs"); http.createserver(function(req, res){ res.writehead(200, { 'content-type': 'application/json', "access-control-allow-origin":"*" }); var obj = json.parse(fs.readfilesync('test', 'utf8')); res.write(json.stringify(obj, null, 4)); res.end(); }).listen(8888);

the reason want implement implement in net module getting xml url after fixed interval need convert json , homecoming json user when requested.

you can have @ post nodejs - net or http module

it states http built on top of net
