Contact Management System

A contact management system utilising a custom HTTP server, plain-old javascript code, and a custom text-based database for storing contact information.

Purpose

This project was developed without using Javascript frameworks such as React.js or Express.js which simplify the development of web applications.

It helped me learn the internal workings of HTTP servers and manual DOM updation using vanilla Javascript, giving me a deeper understanding of web-development which has aided me with efficient coding and seamless debugging.
