Overview:

This document provides a basic Express server with a resource for logging keystrokes. It serves as a proof of concept that demonstrates the power of server-side JavaScript using Node. The code is intended for educational purposes only and aims to create awareness about the capabilities of NodeJS.

Features:

Basic Setup: Installs NodeJS, Node Package Manager (NPM), Express web framework, and body-parser middleware.
GET Method: Retrieves keylogger data written to the server with each page refresh.
POST Method: Sends data with the body in the format { keyboardData: <what user entered> }.
Scalability: Can be improved with the addition of a database like MongoDB paired with Mongoose for data validation and structuring.
CRUD Operations: Easily implementable update and remove operations to enhance functionality.
Exception Handling: Requires better implementation for robust error management.

Summary:

The very basic Express server with a resource for logging keystrokes is a simplistic yet illustrative project showcasing the capabilities of NodeJS for server-side scripting. While it lacks advanced features like database integration and robust error handling, it serves as a starting point for those looking to experiment with server-side JavaScript. The project can be enhanced by incorporating additional functionalities such as database support and improved exception handling to make it more robust and practical for real-world applications.
