Backend Languages: Code Examples and Explanation

JavaScript (Node.js + Express):


const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/users', (req, res) => {


res.json([{ id: 1, name: 'Alice' }]);
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));

Explanation: Sets up a web server using Express. Defines a GET route '/users' that returns a JSON

array. Node.js is great for real-time applications.

Python (Flask):
from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/users')
def get_users():
return jsonify([{"id": 1, "name": "Alice"}])

app.run(port=3000)

Explanation: Flask is a micro-framework. This creates a '/users' route that returns a JSON response.

Python is easy to learn and widely used.

Java (Spring Boot):


@RestController
public class UserController {

@GetMapping("/users")
public List<Map<String, Object>> getUsers() {
Map<String, Object> user = new HashMap<>();
user.put("id", 1);
user.put("name", "Alice");
return List.of(user);
}
}

Explanation: Spring Boot is a Java framework used for enterprise-level applications. This sets up a

REST endpoint that returns a user list.


PHP (Laravel):
// routes/web.php
Route::get('/users', function () {
return response()->json([
['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Alice']
]);
});

Explanation: Laravel simplifies web development in PHP. This code returns JSON data from the

'/users' route.

Ruby (Rails):
# config/routes.rb
get '/users', to: 'users#index'

# app/controllers/users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
render json: [{ id: 1, name: "Alice" }]
end
end

Explanation: Ruby on Rails emphasizes convention over configuration. This sets up a '/users' route

returning JSON data.

Go (Golang):
package main

import (
"encoding/json"
"net/http"
)

func usersHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {


users := []map[string]interface{}{
{"id": 1, "name": "Alice"},
}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(users)
}

func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/users", usersHandler)
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

Explanation: Go is a compiled language, great for performance. This example shows a basic server

with a '/users' endpoint.


Rust (Actix Web):
use actix_web::{get, web, App, HttpServer, Responder};

#[get("/users")]
async fn get_users() -> impl Responder {
web::Json(vec![serde_json::json!({"id": 1, "name": "Alice"})])
}

#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
HttpServer::new(|| App::new().service(get_users))
.bind("127.0.0.1:3000")?
.run()
.await
}

Explanation: Rust provides safety and speed. Actix Web is a fast, powerful framework for building

web services.

C# (ASP.NET Core):
app.MapGet("/users", () => new[] {
new { id = 1, name = "Alice" }
});

Explanation: ASP.NET Core is used in the Microsoft ecosystem. This sets up a minimal API

endpoint returning JSON.
