Let’s create a simple OvenJoy application to demonstrate its basic features. Create a new JavaScript file, e.g., app.js, and follow along:

// Import the OvenJoy framework
import OvenJoy from "ovenjoy";

// Create an OvenJoy application
const app = OvenJoy();

// Define a route
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: "Hello, OvenJoy!" });
});

// Start the server
app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("OvenJoy server is running on port 3000");
});

Start a development server by:

bun app.js

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000.
