Here’s the translation of the HTTP Server example from Go to Java, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:
Our first HTTP server example demonstrates how to create a basic server using Java’s built-in com.sun.net.httpserver package.
In Java, we use the HttpHandler interface to define our request handlers. This is similar to the concept of handlers in the net/http package.
The HelloHandler and HeadersHandler classes implement the HttpHandler interface, providing the logic for handling requests to the /hello and /headers endpoints respectively.
In the main method, we create an HttpServer instance, set up the context paths with their corresponding handlers, and start the server.
To run the server:
Now you can access the /hello route:
This example demonstrates how to set up a basic HTTP server in Java, register handlers for different routes, and process incoming requests. The structure is similar to the original example, but uses Java-specific classes and interfaces to achieve the same functionality.
