HTTP Server with Route Handling

This Node.js script sets up an HTTP server capable of routing different requests based on their paths. Below is an overview of its functionalities:

Features:

1. Server Setup: The script initializes an HTTP server using Node.js's built-in http module.

2. Route Handling:

   • Root Route (/): Serves the index.html file when accessed directly or when /index.html is requested.
   • /tasks Route: Sends JSON data stored in a tasks.json file when accessed.
   • 404 Route: Returns a 404 Not Found error message for any other requested paths.

3. Error Handling: Proper error handling is implemented for scenarios such as file reading errors or unknown paths, ensuring graceful error responses.

4. Server Startup: The server is configured to listen on port 3000, and a message is logged to the console upon successful startup.

Usage:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies (if any).
3. Run the script using Node.js.
4. Access the server endpoints via a web browser or HTTP client.

Requirements:

• Node.js installed on the system.

Dependencies:

• None (core Node.js modules are used).
